What are your back-to-school traditions?

My mother always sent us off on the first day of the school year with a French-toast-and-bacon breakfast. It is a family ritual that I have continued with our two daughters from their first day of kindergarten (they are both now in high school). Now that we are all more calorie conscious, I do a "light" French-toast recipe using skim milk and egg whites. And we usually skip the bacon.
