Back to School, 2012

Rory and Aven were both very excited to be headed back to school. Rory to First Grade. Aven to a new Pre-K program. 

For Rory, it was back to MacArthur Elementary, the neighborhood public school where Rory had such a wonderful year of kindergarten. 

Her new classroom is next door to her old room with Ms. Soucie. 

This year, Rory's teacher is Dr. Vick, with whom Rory is quite taken. 

After saying goodbye to Rory, it was off to Aven's new school, St. Clement's pre-K program. 

Aven was super-excited to be a student in the Purple Room. 

Aven spent plenty of time exploring her new room, finding the ruby red slippers and the baby doll collection. 

Both girls had a wonderful first day, with lots of stories. Rory's "first grade survey" revealed a happy kid.
