As the incomparable White Stripes’ song says:
“Fall is here, hear the yell,
back to school, ring the bell,
brand new shoes, walking blues,
climb the fence, books and pens,
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.”
The start of school takes everyone–children and former children alike–back to those magical days of classrooms and recess. We asked our practitioners about their favorite memories of childhood friendship, the silliest, funniest, most essential images of those precious early pals.
