Back to School: The Most Wonderful Time

I love my kids.  But I love them more when they are out of the house and in school.  Monday is the first day of school in Montgomery County, and I couldn’t be happier.  Our school system is a huge enterprise.  Here’s some stats from their back to school summary starting the 2011-2012 school year:

  • 98,000 Students
  • 100,000 bus miles every day (that’s 4 times around the equator — every day)
  • 40,000 bus stops
  • 1,200 buses
  • 2,500 more students added this year
  • 105 additional classrooms
  • Two new schools opening: Cabin John Middle School and Farmland Elementary School

I’ll be humming “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” for at least a week.
