All 3 of my kids got to have that experience. Maybe, it was in the same school house in my neck of the woods, in less there are more in Toronto. If there are I would like to visit them :)

This is really a great post. Your boys are so luck with such a mother. You are an inspiration.

My daughter visited the Century Schoolhouse in the east end last year - same drill with outfit & packed lunch. It was the highlight of her entire school year.
