First Day of School...Take Two

Compass Public Charter School, HERE WE COME!!

Compass is an amazing new K-12 Charter school that is less than 2 blocks away from my front door, their doors have been open for three years now. We have had our eyes on it, with our kids on the waiting list, hoping and praying that someday they would get in...well, I am so tickled to announce that they FINALLY got in!! Hannah found out she got into Compass months ago. YA!! Kirk found out he was in about two weeks before school started and then poor Ruby, after being in first grade with fabulous Mrs. McGrordy, at Peregrine Elementary, for a day and a half, also received a call from Compass. I couldn't have been more thrilled! I went right over and politely ripped her out of class! She was very excited as well! Due to some construction delays, Compass didn't start their school year until Sept. 2! So we got two extra weeks of summer vacation!! WAHOO!! If you have any questions about Compass, here is there website, check it out, I know you will be impressed!! http://www.compasscharter.org/

Here is Ruby's (second) First Grade Photo

Here is Kirk, now in FOURTH grade!!

Hannah has been a pill and won't let me take her picture! Can you believe it? She isn't even a "teenager" yet and she is already rolls her eyes and runs every time I break out the camera!

Today, was school picture day however, and we put her hair up in curlers last night, and she PROMISED that I could take her picture when she gets home from school!

And we can't forget about John, he was oh so eager to have his "first day of school" picture taken as well. Maybe he wanted me to document the pure happiness he was experiencing about all the kids going back to school!! hee hee

Last week was an awesome start to what I know will be an amazing school year! I love the feeling at Compass and I am so impressed with the teachers, staff and parents over there. The kids are having a ball and are so happy to go to school each morning! THAT IS A HUGE PLUS FOR THIS MOM! We can even walk to school now, Kirk is thrilled that he is done with the school bus system! It takes us about 10 minutes to walk to and from school, it is wonderful!
