Back to (Home)School Traditions?

I read a post on the Well-Trained Mind forums that asked if any families had a first day of school tradition. Unfortunately, no one had yet responded. I didn't post anything, because I was stumped, which got me thinking. What kinds of things could I plan to make DD's promotion to first grade special or memorable? I thought of taking her to breakfast on the first day of school or perhaps organizing a back to school play date, but otherwise, I've got bupkus. Any suggestions?

When did you want to do it? We could have a first grade party! :)

Did you see my gift basket idea on facebook? Well, I was planning to start year 1 on Monday, but turns out Rick is off work--drat! So...I'm going to give him his basket Monday (instead of Sunday afternoon) and we will all be able to play his new board game together if he wants. Which reminds me...I've got to get that basket together this weekend! yikes.

Both excellent ideas. Perhaps we can combine our Boro field trip with a celebrate first grade theme? Sherry, we talked about the gift basket awhile ago-thanks for reminding me. It will be nice to do something special to mark the occasion.
