My First Day Board Arch - Standard

Every August or February brings that same feeling: new classroom, new teacher, new possibilities. This board captures it all - the grade they're entering, their age, what they're excited about, what they're nervous about, their hopes for the year ahead. The writeable surface lets you customize each year's details exactly as they express them at that moment. At age five, they're excited about 'making friends.' At age eight, 'learning multiplication.' At age twelve, 'surviving high school.' The board becomes a timeline of evolving priorities and growing maturity. Many families pair first day and last day photos side-by-side in albums, showing not just the year's growth but the journey from anticipation to accomplishment.

From prep through year 12, that's potentially thirteen first days of school. This board is built to document every single one. The durable arch design survives being held by excited five-year-olds and eye-rolling fifteen-year-olds. The writeable surface accepts various markers and wipes clean, ready for next year's fresh start. The timeless arch shape doesn't look babyish as children age - it's appropriate at every grade level. Parents tell us this board becomes an expected ritual: the night before school starts, they pull it out, and children fill it in with that year's details. Then morning comes, backpacks are hoisted, and the annual first day photo happens - same board, same tradition, completely new chapter.
