Well, I have been talking about back to school a lot lately, because it is just that time of year. However, it is special for us this year since it is Kevin’s first year teaching. I figured amidst my posts on back to school clothes and routines, I would share 12 verses for back to school! I hope that these encourage you as a parent or teacher in this back to school season.
