      Hi – thanks so much for offering these. Do you have an option to print a black and white version, so students can color their own?
      Thank you, Jennifer

  11. Anne Schmitt

    Hi Linda! I love your content! Do you have a “Last day of…” printable we can use? I used your “First day” for my kiddo and would love to have the matching “Last day” to wrap up his year. Thank you!

  12. Jennifer

    Thanks Lina, for sharing these printables! Could you share a version to print in black & white also, please? Thank you!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Thanks Jennifer! To print in black and white, that should be a simple option to check (or setting) on your computer or device when you send the doc to the printer. πŸ™‚ Hope that helps!

    Hello! Every school year I choose a different design and use the signs for the first day and last day of school. This year I used your sign for the first day of school and I swear there was a matching sign for the last day of school. Am I crazy? Lol Thanks so much!
