📚☕ MARION COUNTY PARENTS & TEACHERS… WELCOME BACK TO THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR. 😂
The backpacks are packed.
The lunches are questionable.
The alarm clocks are offensive.
And somewhere in Marion County, a child is already saying, “Wait… I needed that signed today.”
Yep. School is officially back.
To our TEACHERS: we wish you endless patience, functioning copy machines, students who actually brought a pencil, and a classroom where nobody asks, “What are we doing?” immediately after you just spent 10 minutes explaining exactly what you’re doing.
To our PARENTS: congratulations on successfully completing another summer. Your prize is waking up before sunrise, searching for missing shoes, packing lunches nobody will eat, and discovering at 7:14 AM that today is apparently “Bring Something Extremely Specific to School Day.”
And to both groups, we would just like to remind you of one very important educational resource:
Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.☕☕☕
Because some mornings require a latte.
Some mornings require an Ellianos Edge.
And some mornings require you to pull into the drive-thru, roll down the window, make eye contact with your barista and quietly whisper…”Just make me functional.”
We understand. 😂
So during this first week back, swing by and let us help you tackle carpools, lesson plans, drop-off lines, grading, forgotten homework, traffic, after-school activities, and whatever fresh chaos the school year decides to throw your way.
Here’s to our incredible Marion County Public Schools teachers, parents, school staff, and everyone else holding this whole operation together.
YOU’VE GOT THIS
And if you don’t…
WE’VE GOT COFFEE☕😎
Happy Back to School, Marion County!
Ellianos Coffee…proudly fueling the people who are fueling the future!
