When my kids went through the St. Matthew’s School a few years ago, it was a tradition of sorts for families to take their “first day” photos by a small sign on the walkway to the school. The school contacted me about making a new one for the school’s 20th anniversary, so I created this design based on the characters in the school’s logo.

The “first day” panel is held in place with magnets and can be exchanged with one that reads “last day.” The numbers use the same magnet system and can be updated for each school year.

I included enough extra numbers, so the school will be set for the next 100 years or so.

After dropping it off, the director of the school, Sandy Elkins, was kind enough to model for us.
