As September approaches, it’s time to share back-to-school memories! Did you have a favorite and least favorite subject in school? Do you remember wearing brand-new clothes on the first day of school? Did you walk to school or ride the bus? Was there a special book which had an impact on you as a child? Did you attend college close to home or in a faraway place? Tell the seniors about it!

And here are some of September's quirky Dates of Distinction. Pick a couple which you find interesting and share them (in stories and pictures) with our seniors:
