Her school (University of Hartford) did a great job with handling the crowds ~ I've heard horror stories about other schools. I have a vision of my daughter going off to 1st grade that's burned into my memory. She never looked back, only forward, as she got on the school bus. So my memory is of her pink backpack and the back of her white/pink sneakers. Just under 12 years later it was a similar scenario. I was looking at a gray North Face backpack and the back of black flip flops and again she didn't look back at me BUT this time she she wasn't looking forward, she was looking down ~ at her iPhone...
