first day of school

(1st grade)
And yes I cried.  But thankfully was wearing sunglasses so as not to make a complete fool of myself.

This photo was not staged.  I called Chrissie over so that I could take a picture of her.  Immediately, Matthew planted himself next to her and then she wrapped her arm around him. 





Flag rising ceremony: a small band consisting of two trumpets, a flute, and a clarinet played the national anthem.  We said the pledge of allegiance and a few students gave speeches.  A wonderful way to start off the school year.





I thought the "head of school" was looking particularly dapper that morning.  He always wears a bow tie.
