Every morning at precisely 8:15 a.m., when the first bell rings at Fontaine’s elementary school, the kids waiting in line outside cheer.
It sounds like a really innocent, kid-like cheer that you might hear a clump of 7 and 8-year-olds do on a Charlie Brown special.
<i>Yayyyyy!</i>
Fontaine doesn’t cheer. She thinks it’s silly. She’s in kindergarten.
But that’s why I’m excited about tomorrow. She told me way back in September that she wouldn’t cheer all year, but she would on the very last day, because that, that would be a happy day.
So that’s tomorrow, last day of school, no more pencils, no more books…School’s out, for the summer.
The day, by the way, ends with early release at 10:05 tomorrow. The school <i> day </i> will be less than two hours. Let’s just say that was going to be your work day tomorrow, like you wouldn’t cheer for that?
Too Cool for School
