Big changes! New Elementary School for Lawson and Hudson starting Kindergarten!
We had to make a quick but informed decision as to what school the kids would go to when we moved. This was the first time we moved since we had school aged kids. It is a big deal. And makes the decision a LOT harder. We quickly discovered that we were not comfortable with most of Little Rock's public schools. There were a few elementaries that were ok, but they fed into challenged Middle and High Schools. We toured a private school but it just didn't feel right to us. We LOVE community elementary schools...where your kids go to school with your neighbors. It is what we are used to. It makes it easy to form relationships with your neighbors because you have something in common. And the kids enjoy playing and seeing kids from their school in their neighborhood.
After praying and researching, we thought we would feel best about putting the kids in Bryant ISD (a suburb of Little Rock).
Here is Hudson with his Kinder teacher, Mrs. Whitfield. She seems really sweet. His classroom is bright and cheery. The school is about 4 years old and is one of the first "green" schools in the state. It is really cute and modern. It has sky lights and other features to reduce costs and provide a better learning environment.
Lawson was happy as could be with her classroom. She has Ms. Hill who loves hot pink and green and has outfitted her enitre class in that color scheme!
Had several people ask us what teachers the kiddos got. When we told them, we got the feedback that they scored some of the school's best teachers! Thank you, God!
We are excited about this year!
