I think I handled the first day of school today better than I did last year. When Brett started Kindergarten, I followed the bus to school and walked him to class (and tried not to cry in front of the bus driver or teacher). This year, I waited at the bus stop with Brett. He had his new Star Wars backpack filled with new school supplies. He assures me he's a 'big boy' now and didn't need me to escort him to his new class. Ah-- independence. Like most moms, I have mixed feeling about that!

Back To School
The first day of school proved to be a little bumpy for some families in the Tippecanoe School Corporation. A bus was involved in an accident on State Road 26 East near Monitor. The bus was hit by an SUV that was pushed into the bus by a car that hit the SUV from behind. Police say the injuries (one student on the bus and a passenger in the SUV) appear to be minor. This is a reminder to all drivers to be extra careful as the school year begins for area students. The buses are carrying some precious cargo!
