What Is Your Favorite School Memory?

My fondest memory is back to school shopping. There is nothing like getting your classroom assignment in the mail along with a list of needed school supplies. Nothing makes you feel more organized and prepared for the year ahead like new notebooks, folders, and pens. I still love looking at the Sunday ads for all the deals! I still buy myself new pens and paper and feel refreshed like I did as a kid!

My favorite school memory was when I was a senior in high school (It was my first year at that school). I had just discovered how much I loved to paint and how good I was at it. I was given the job of overseeing a wall by the school office that we were painting with all our clubs' logos. People I never talked to before were congratulating me and complimenting my work as they went by to their classes. I met so many people. It was a great way to start at a new school and to end my senior year. Everyone knew my name and was really friendly to me. It was awesome!

My most memorable school memory is going to the Senior prom which was back in 1986. I wore my Joan Collins pink iridescence dress with a white veil and kitten heels. I called it the Joan Collins dress because of how popular the show Dynasty was in the 1980's. The sleeves were puffed out and the outfit was very lovely especially for a tomboy like me! My date was a friend from the old neighborhood and I got to share a limo with one of my best friends.

I loved the smell of the thick paper in our phonics workbooks. They were the perforated sheets that you pull out. I remember that smell and don't think I've smelled it since!!!!

My favorite back to school memory is that my best friend and I would get together and pick out our outfit and shoes and how we were going to wear our hair the first day back to school every year. It was so fun!! And of course seeing all of my friends everyday was great too!

I am a school supply junkie! I have very fond memories of getting my Trapper Keeper for fifth grade. I loved that thing more than any other item I ever took to school. I just looked on Ebay and these are selling for bib bucks!! I should have kept mine all these years. Who knew they would be worth $$$?!?

Some of my favorite memories is hanging out before school started or at lunchtime with friends. That's where we would be able to talk about what was going on in our lives and school related things!

My favorite school memory is yearbook class. Our teacher was a rite of passage who had been in charge of the yearbook for as long as one could remember. She somehow managed to give us the perfect amount of freedom while at the same time motivating us to meet deadlines. Now I find myself back at the school I graduated from, trying to fill her shoes. I know now, just how hard she worked!

In kindergarten my teacher was Mrs Johnson she was always so happy until tNovember 22, 1963, we ate lunch she was reading us a story , Our principle announced that our President JFK had just been assassinated, Mrs. Johnson fell to her knees sobbing, we had no idea what had happened , when my mom picked me up she to was sad, I was looking at some old jewelry that my mom gave me after her Aunt Nell died. On monday my mom dropped me off I laid the ring on her desk she sai please don't be sad again, she asked if my mom knew that I was giving her the ring , I said no, she smiled.. A few days later Mrs Johnson called my mom she said Mrs Dye did you know that Patti gave me a ring ? my mom said no ,My teacher than told my mom well this isn't junk jewelry !! My teacher said she had shown it to her brother who was a jeweler and he said it was real sapphire and diamond ring worth over $1500, my mom said without hesitation well Mrs Johnson you are a very lucky women

My favorite school memory is of getting a new square metal lunchbox every year. Once I had a Smurfs lunchbox (long before there was a Smurfs movie). I was always so excited for lunchtime to open my cartoonish lunchbox. That, of course, was also long before I started counting calories (something that has plagued my adulthood), so lunch was a carefree time!

Definitely new clothes, new notebooks, pencils, bookbag...a fresh start for a new year...I can smell the erasers

My favorite school memory is of me going to my first day of Kindergarten. My teacher's name was Mrs. Store. What a great name for a teacher! My Father (who is now deceased), brought me and he gave me a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. I was a shy kid and I remember him holding my hand and walking me into the class room. I also remember a girl Kicking and Screaming at the door, because she did not want to come in. It was a great day and I had a good time.

I grew up in middle America, so when a major Hollywood film was shot at our high school it was major excitement. Many students were used as extras and it was a very fun experience.

One of my favorite memories from school was when my teacher saw that I was having a bad day. She took me out into the hallway during recess and talked to me. She told me a few stories of when she was a child and spent time trying to make me feel better. That was a difficult year for me, but she made being at school a positive experience and something to look forward to each morning. She was and still is one of my favorite teachers.

My favorite school memory was every year being excited to go school shopping and deciding what I would wear on the first day of school!
