Well, it's that time again. School is back in session. My kids are actually really excited this year for a few reasons:

1. Brand new school. Lakeview, the new elementary school in Provo, is about 3 blocks from our house. When they were trying to decide whether or not they were going to build it, my kids' most exciting thought about it was that there would be clean bathrooms. Go Figure.

2. They get to walk to school now instead of the bus. (They didn't like the bus driver).

3. They each have at least one of their 'best' friends in their class. I am not sure as of yet how this will go. I guess only time will tell.

Miguel's teacher, Miss Birkinshaw, was actually in our ward before it was split, so we know her pretty well as a person, and as a teacher she seems like she is going to be fun for the kids. She is upbeat and energetic. Of course, it seems to me that that should be a prerequisite for someone wanting to teach sixth graders. Good Luck Miss B.

Antonio has team teachers, Miss Hafen and Miss Terry. We met them and they, too, seem like they are going to be great. The room decorations are not your typical classroom ABC's and 123's. If their imagination in teaching is as good as the room decor, we are in good hands. I think they will be great.

With the school split, the kids are going to miss their friends who will be staying at Westridge, but they look forward to meeting new friends that are coming in from Grandview and Amelia Earhart.


Love to all
