First Day of School!

Well, it is here! First day of school! First day of second grade! First day in a brand new school! First day at Olive Branch schools period! Last day that mama takes him tp school!

There are a lot of new things happening for Drew this year. He has made the switch from Hernando Schools to Olive Branch Schools. That is probably the biggest change. We are all excited about it but it causes quite a bit of anxiety too. New schools mean making all new friends. For that reason I am glad we did it now, while he is still so young and can make new friends that he will be able to have all through school. He is also in a brand new school. Our schools only house w grades at a time until they get to Middle and High School. So, he is at Chickasaw Elemantary which has 2nd and 3rd grades at it. He now has to navigate color coded hallways and be more independent. He is ready for it all, I am confident of that, but it still worried this ole mom!

He has a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Samsel, and his assitant teacher is Mrs. Garrison. They share assitants in the 2nd grade so she will not be with them all the time. I am sure it is going to be a fantastic year!

Here he is this morning on his first day!
Such a good big brother! Helping JC get his shoes on!
And now the aggravating big brother, giving JC bunny ears!

Already anxious to pick him up and see how the day went!!
