Grandparents' Day

September 11th was Grandparents' Day at school. The kids were excited to have Nana and Poppie come to school to have cookies and punch with them. They made some cute gifts in their classes for them. Of course, we remembered the anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks and First Responders' Day at school, but it was also a very important day for our family because it has been 20 years since Poppie had his stroke! He is a walking miracle.

Back-to-School

Mrs. Dawn, sorry you had to wait so long! I'll try to update more often. Here are the back-to-school pictures:

Jack was so excited to be going to school like a "big boy". He told us, "I'm growing up!" and when I kissed him on the cheek, he said, "Not at SCHOOL!"




















His backpack is almost as big as he is!



















Lauren is in 1st grade this year and her classroom shares an air conditioner unit with Richard's classroom, so she bundled up in a sweater even though it was August!



















Natalie is in 4th grade this year and has moved to a different building.



















Nicole is in 6th grade. This will be her last year on the elementary campus! Next year, she will move to the Jr. High/High School campus. I don't think I'm ready for that!
