Back to school, back to school! We're soaking up the final days of summer and headed to Grandfather Mountain for the last hurrah, and then OFF TO SCHOOL the kids will go after Labor Day. Normally, St. Mary's would already be back this week, but we're loving an extra two weeks off due to all of the construction. I'm a big believer that summer should be from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and we're making the most of our remaining days off. But don't get me wrong, I'm excited for school to start. A friend once told me that on the first day of school, all the moms would gather at the bus stop and pop champagne as the bus drove away with all of their kids, and I think we need a similar celebration!

So... join us on Wednesday, September 7, after you drop the kids off to raise a glass and celebrate them being back in school. We'll open early and have coffee, mimosas, and more to celebrate, starting at 9am. Cheers to all the moms and dads and caretakers who kept the kiddos busy this summer. You deserve to be celebrated!

Mark your calendar and grab some friends and come see us. And, of course, let us help you with the perfect back-to-school attire. We've got darling dresses, polos, backpacks, and bows to make sure the year is started off on the right foot!
