There’s not a lot I remember from kindergarten. There was the learning of the letters, counting, shapes, colors and the importance of not eating glue, but those are life lessons that one has a hard time forgetting.

Author Robert Fulghum, writer of the book “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten,” laid out a number of things that were also valuable life lessons learned in kindergarten.

Such things such as: playing fair, putting things back where you found them, washing your hands before you eat and of course, an all-important lesson, warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

I know that in today’s world, a nap after lunch on one of those amazing red and blue mats would be something that even Congress could agree on.

Over the past few weeks, The Vicksburg Post staff has gone from school to school taking photographs of each of the 33 kindergarten classes in Warren County.

The photographs, along with the names of the students and their teachers, will appear in a special section called the “Class of 2028.”

While I want to make sure to thank the business partners who joined us in making this section possible, I want to mainly thank the teachers, the staffs, the administration and the school system leadership who made this section possible, who allowed us such great access to get these photographs.

For the parents of those students who are included in this section, which will publish in the Friday, Oct. 30, edition of The Vicksburg Post, it might be a scary proposition to know that your little one, your little kindergartner is not associated with a “Class Of” number. Class rings and senior portraits are not that far away.

To think the school year is already two 9-week sessions down and that the hectic halfway point of the Christmas holidays is just around the corner, is evidence to those parents — to all of us with school children — that time truly flies and that there is a desperate need for us to enjoy it, appreciate it.

As I have thought about this section, the great work by our staff to get it put together, there were some things these students will never appreciate, never experience.

They will never experience talking on the telephone, restricted to the kitchen because the phone cord only stretched so far. They will likely never experience the need of having to learn to drive a standard transmission or being used by their parents as the remote control, asked to walk to the television and change the channel.

On the flip side, the world that awaits these students, these leaders of tomorrow, will be challenging, different and fraught with worries and dangers we could never imagine. But, if they remember that warm cookies and cold milk are good for you and might be the solution to every problem, then they will be just fine.
