1ST DAY OF SCHOOL - 1ST - 5TH GRADE

WOW - We are off to a running start! For the first time, our Parent's Orientation happened with the children on the first day of school! I really loved it! It was great having the kids be a part of it, hearing it all from the very beginning, and having all the parents with their children! What did you think of this - was it more convenient than a night time orientation, without the kids? Or what do you think!??? Please let me know so that we can make our plans for next year!

The first day of school is always, exciting, scary, new clothes & shoes, smiles, new books & materials, and thank God - at this age - hopefully no tears, except from the parents (maybe tears of joy!) It is always fun to see the parents so excited for their kids, taking pictures, spit washing faces, etc.! All those great things we parents do!! I would give anything to go back to those days!! While we live in the moment - sometimes we don't think that someday it will all be over! The children will grow up, they will tie their own shoes, cut their own meat, take their own bath, graduate, move away from home, etc., etc. I know I mention these things a lot - but I guess looking from the other side - I know how quick it seems to happen! I love kids and families! Thanks for the opportunity you give me to be a part of your family!

SO GREAT TO BE WITH EVERYONE AGAIN! It was a great Summer, but I love it when school starts again! I am looking forward to a great year.
