Now, many kiddos get the Labor Day weekend, a week for Fall Break, practically a week for Thanksgiving Break, two weeks for Christmas Break, a week for mid-Winter Break, a week for Spring Break, and the Memorial Day weekend before wrapping up the school year a week later.
I will say though, I'm genuinely happy for the kiddos and thankful for the teachers.

I grew up in Alabama and when I went to school - you know, back when dinosaurs roamed the land, we didn't go back until after Labor Day because most of our schools didn't have AC.

My wife is from Indiana and was always floored that here in the Northeast school goes back so late in the summer. I'm always mad that they go in for two days, have a 3 day weekend with Labor Day, then another 4 day week, then the year really gets into the swing of things. Or maybe I'm just getting old because I used to love it as a kid lol.

The thing I am looking forward to the most, BACK TO SCHOOL!!! It has been a long summer trying to work at home and get even a bit of quiet from the kids.

Rise and shine community!
We are about to cross another milestone off of our "Garfield" calendars and enter the last quarter of 2025. Today, we are here to ask the important question:
What are you most looking forward to in Q3?
From last-minute vacations to a change in the weather, the start of the school year, the dawning of a new sports/holiday season, and the opening reception of Xperience, there is a ton of great stuff to look forward to, but what are you counting down the days to?
For me, at the Community HQ in Durham, NC, we have been blasted with high heat and even higher humidity for far too long! I am absolutely looking forward to my electricity bill taking a nosedive as the windows fly open and the big blankets get pulled out of hibernation, but I would be lying if I did not say that I am most looking forward to Halloween!
It is always my favorite holiday of the year, and I want some tacky ghosts, delicious candy, and creepy movies haunting the nooks and crannies of my gothic-chique dwelling ASAP!
What about you? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to play in Collegiate Trivia! By replying to this post, you have already earned three (3) valuable points towards your total.
