First Day of School

Emily started 2nd grade and has the same teacher as she did last year.  Abbey and Lindsay are  in her same class again this year.  I love Porter and there is a new principal.  I think she is fabulous and can't wait to work with her. I'm so excited that Haylee is coming to Porter with Emily this year.  This is going to be a great year at Porter.

I'm the most nervous about sending Angela to Junior High.  I have prepared Angela as much as I can.   She knows her schedule and we walked through it a couple of time. She has her schedule visible in case she gets lost.   When I dropped her off at school, the principal saw me and asked if I could help pass out schedules in the gym.  A lot of students didn't pick up their new schedules and they needed them ASAP.  Angela came with me to the gym to pass out the new schedules.  When the bell rang for Angela to go to class, I took her half way and wished her luck and then returned back to the gym.  The principal was very wise to have me help.  When I left campus, I saw Angela head to an assembly with her class.  At the point, I knew that she would be OK.  Angela did get lost, but there was help for her.  It was a great first day for her and me as well.

 Josh and Danni are off to high school.  This is Danni's first year in high school and I walked her through her classrooms as well.  Danni is nervous, but I know that she will love high school.  Josh has been working super hard on a summer project and it's due on the first day of school.  Good Luck Josh and Danni!

Since my kids go to 3 different schools and start at 3 different  times - I decided to get a group picture after school.  The kids deserve a treat after their first day of school, so we headed to the local watering hole.  I have great kids and I'm going to miss them now that school as started.

They love the first day of school.
