Back to school

Tuesday, September 8 was the return to school in our district. Lots of parents with cameras gathered to send off the almost 20 kids who boarded the yellow school bus at the corner of our yard.

j'adore ces bus jaunes, cela représente l'Amérique chez nous et nos écoliers.
I love these buses - scholastic yellow, it represents America to us and our schoolchildren.

I have only been to NYC for a few days, but I remember seeing a bus like this, and it made me so HAPPY!!? Probably because I have seen it on TV and thought it was familiar ...... I can be a big child!
And I agree with Oliver, this represent America.

GOD HELG!

Your school season starts late! The kiddies around here have already been in school for two weeks now.

Happy learning!

I've been taking my grandson to kindergarten since August 24. It's the best time of the day as far as I'm concerned! We have so much fun in the mornings.

And when the bus pulled away, every parent there jumped up and down and yelled "Whee! I'm free!"

nice shot! You can almost read the reluctance in the kid's desire to return to school;-)

That bus looks so old fashioned and solid.

I thinks it's an iconic image of the USA.

An American schoolbus! I know them pretty wel, I worked a summer in a school bus. Somebody at the beach of Scheveningen turned it into a kitchen. It was a hot summer and extra hot for me in that thick iron plated bus..
