First Day of School

This year was definitely a year of firsts for our family. Mark headed to 7th grade, which was his first year at Junior High. He was a little nervous about having 8 classes and finding his way through the larger school and opening his locker, but everything went well. They have an optional 7th grade day the day before school starts where just the 7th graders attend, and after he went to school that day, Mark was ready to go. He has been enjoying 7th grade and is learning lots of new things.

We met up with his friends so that they could all walk into school together.

Dax is going to Highland to be in his dad's class, so this was a new school for him. He has been to Highland Elementary many times, but this was his first year going as a student. He loves riding to school with Dad and has started making lots of new friends. We are excited to see how the entire year goes.

Dad and Dax leave pretty early together every day.

Dax is an awesome student!

Seth is in first grade and this is his first year eating lunch at school and going the entire day. He is in Mrs. Hanson's class, which we are thrilled about since she was Mark's third grade teacher and we loved her. This is our first time every having the repeat teachers: Mrs. Hanson and Dad. Seth is loving school and is getting the hang of eating lunch. We can't wait to see how much he learns and grows this year.

He didn't want me to walk him in or help at all. Seth is so confident and independent!
