Back To School Report

Safety Patrol Excitement

After an entire night of not being able to sleep due to the anticipation of her first day as a Safety Patrol, Katherine woke up long before any of us. She was dressed, cheerful and ready to report for duty. No coaxing her out of bed or prodding her along to dress, eat, pack up.

Her assigned post is holding the front door open for the Kindergartners. She read the Safety Patrol rules and duties over and over last night and is ready to take her job seriously.

Megan is loaded up in "The School Bus" aka mom's car. For now, she is prepared to arrive early each morning at the same time Katherine arrives. This is bound to change when we start biking and get the rhythm of this new year.

Heard coming from the back seat yesterday:

Katherine: This was the best school day of my life!

Megan: Me, too! I can't wait for tomorrow.

From my perspective, indeed it was a wonderful start to the school year. I am so thankful to be at this school and for the teachers and staff. Some time I will post on how we even got to this school and the change from our little Private School to our local Public School. This is the first year I have not dreaded how Katherine would be treated after the years of her being bullied at the Christian School.
