Bismarck and Mandan Public Schools are back in session today and tomorrow.

The city of Bismarck must really have a lot of young families with children because according to an article on Niche, three of the top 5 biggest elementary schools are in the Bismarck Public School District.  More on that in a moment.

I'm not sure why, but I still get the butterflies this time of year, even though I've been out of school for a lot longer than I care to admit.  My son graduated in 2022 from Bismarck High School, and I would find myself getting nervous for him, even though he always seemed cool and collected.  I may have to work this out in therapy.

Tomorrow morning my co-worker Andi Ahne and I will be playing music for Silver Ranch Elementary.

We will be welcoming back the young students and cheering them on for another school year (what happened to summer? Somebody call 911).  This will be my second time at this state-of-the-art new elementary in northeast Bismarck.  You should see the inside of this school.  It looks like something from the future.
