In our traditional back-to-school fashion, we accessorized with new backpacks, found new study tools, and indulged in a very delicious breakfast to kick off the new school year!
One of my favorite things about SMM is Blessings of the Backpacks the Sunday before school begins. It centers us and prepares us for the new year, and I truly enjoy it so much. With 2 kids attending SMM this year, we had double the fun {and trouble!} at Student Open House. Adelaide & Aspen were excited to pick up their school supplies, try out the cookies from Taher plus add money to their lunch accounts, meet their new teachers, see old friends, and hug the SMM Mustang!
Adelaide is entering first grade which seems hard to believe. It makes her sound so old and her classroom is now in a new part of the school. I had to hold back the tears. Mrs. Lowe & Mrs. Krill are incredibly sweet and even sent her a postcard prior to Open House. I cannot wait to see what she learns this year!
Aspen will be in JK and he has the fabulous Ms. Wheatley. We love, love, love her and he gave her the biggest hug as he entered her classroom! Her assistant is Mrs. Bright who is a fellow lefty and took to him immediately. He was all smiles and beaming with pride to be at his new school!
It is hard to believe that we are entering our 4th year at Harvey Browne...and that I have 2 "graduates" from there! Brighton was bursting at the seams to get to school and Salem can never be left behind. We are thrilled to have another year with the wonderful Butterfly teachers~ Mrs. Evans & Mrs. Kenney. And we are going to savor our *maybe* last day of PDO with the amazing group of ladies!
We continue to feel blessed & grateful for a community who nurtures, encourages, teaches, and loves our children whole-heartedly!
