We all have our back to school stories… good and bad. And, if you were brave enough to share… you may be a winner in Staples’ First Day of School Contest! From over 600 entries, Staples has crowned three ‘First Day of School’ story champions. The competition was even stiffer than last year and entries ranged from side-splitting to heart-wrenching with plenty in between.
It was truly a difficult task to choose just three winners; while judging the contest, I found myself laughing, cringing, and even getting emotional over the various entries. (Of course, cringe-worthy stories are the BEST stories, aren’t they?) Kudos to everyone who took the time to write about missed school buses, intimidating older students, strange and new situations, and of course, bathroom blunders.
Pop on over to the Staples Blog to view the top entries, and congratulations to all of the winners who will be taking home a Canon T3i Prize pack! And, if you didn’t have a chance to share your story (and are just dying to), email it to facebook@staples.ca and it could be featured in an upcoming blog post!
Congrats to all the winners!
Indeed! Well deserved!
I like the photo that won Best Picture Entry. 1000 words ;)
Exactly :)

Truly is! And a great way to start off another school year!

Totally agree, Flora!

Aww, I loved the ‘Best Written Entry by Marlene’. Her son sounds like such a sweetie.
Agreed :)

I loved these stories, thank you for sharing, not sure how I missed it.
