FIRST DAY





I can't believe summer is officially over! Ross & Chloe began school today and both were equally excited about the new school year! Joe & I are now the parents of a 6th grader and a 2nd grader!! Ross has a locker, 3 teachers, 3 electives, and co-ed p.e. this year. He will, by choice or necessity, become organized this year!!! Chloe has a sweet teacher named Mrs. Walsh. She is about as close to a perfect match for our girl as anyone could hope for!
Joe & I are so thankful for Legacy Christian Academy and the teachers and staff who are there. We love that our kids feel like a real "part" of the school, and in their minds it is not just a place we send them for 6 hours each day. We love that they grow our kids both academically and spiritually, and that what is taught there is easily reinforced at home. I love that when I drop them off in the morning, I don't worry about what goes on all day! Teachers, in general, and these teachers, in particular, take a special interest in making sure every day is a good experience for each child. Their job is not easy, it doesn't come with many financial benefits, but that is not why most people choose to teach. They teach because they enjoy making short-term investments in our kids that result in long-term dividends. I can't wait to see how my kids "cash out!"
