First Day of School




First day of School and apparently it was great. The boys both LOVE their teachers (keeping in mind it is only the first day - but I'm hopeful) and Sterling GOT A LOCKER!!!! He was so thrilled. He is out right at this moment at Zellers looking for the perfect lock. Craig has looked some up on the Canadian Tire site and Home Depot site and they have some cool ones so we might go out later and find one for him.

Kaedo's teacher is Sterling's teacher from last year and I was always impressed with her. Sterling's teacher is new to us and a couple of years ago Sterling and Craig had a not so pleasant encounter with her. Obviously that is all water under the bridge as she has already been in touch with us about Sterling's added needs and has already set up and appointment with the principal, vice-principal, resource teacher, Sterling's therapist, and us for Sept 22. She did a lot of work on getting it together with everyone even before school started. So - so far we are very impressed.

First day lunches included hot dogs for Sterling, Smiles for Kaedo, clementines, banana, granola bar, crispy minis, soft baked cookies and jello. The kids ate all their lunches so that was good. Another year of making lunches - yuck. To Jessica and Tica/Kelly - I pity you, I really do - this is only the beginning!

Anyway, we are thrilled with the way things went, the kids are happy and that's what matters. Now all we have to do is breakdown and buy the damn indoor shoes.

I also thought I'd show you a picture of the first day of school last year. What a difference a year makes.

How exciting, a locker and a wonderful lunch. Hope the whole year goes as well as today did.

In the olden days, when I went to school, teachers only had to teach. Today, they have lots of other things on their plate and it's wonderful to see that there are some that do whatever they can to help their pupils that need that little extra. Good on you Sterling that you have a teacher that is going that extra to make sure you have a successful year. We hope the rest of your school year goes as well as the first day. Remember, ENJOY, there's only another SIX years left in public school.

Love to all
