Let the whole city be your blackboard to remind students of the new school opening date!

I was certainly glad to make a fool of myself by sitting on the sidewalk creating my back-to-school message. Finally a good use for the sidewalk chalk I have been hoarding.

The school opening under former Schools Superintendent Paula Howard was Monday, Sept. 10.

Apparently her successor, Interim Superintendent Peter Carter, took one look and decided a Sept. 6 opening was much more desirable. Now Carter asks all to get the word out in any way possible.

Sir, mission accomplished , sir!
