First Day of School

The first day of school came quickly for most of my kids. They headed back to the world of academia on July 21st. Lindsey is starting the 6th grade, Heather the 4th, and Savannah has moved to 1st grade. All of the girls were very excited to see friends and meet their teachers. Lindsey said she was excited to be the oldest ones in the school.

Back to School Night was the night following the first day of school. Back to School Night starts with a welcome from the principal and PTA and an overview of expectations and events for the year. I caused a bit of a stir when I questioned the PTA's budget, but after some discussion, a motion was made and approved to amend the budget giving more money to the teachers instead of rolling it over. After we separate from the group meeting, we go to the classes and meet the teachers. I think all of the girls' teachers will be fantastic. Lindsey's class has computers for each child on their desk so that will be a new experience for her. Heather gets to enjoy county reports, book reports, and the 4th grade ski trip. Savannah looks forward to a full day of school and eating school lunch. It should be a great school year for them.




Matthew had to have a picture too.
