Lovin school!

When Adriana finished preschool last year I was rather sad, not just because she would be starting kindergarten but also because I was loosing a lot of good friends I had met. The moms of the kids in her preschool class had become friends of mine as we all waited for class to get over (which always ran late) and also because we were all there for the parties. I was really going to miss being friends with Adriana's friend's parents. I knew every student and almost every mother.
Adriana was now off to a big school and I was afraid of how I would fit in. This is a huge luxury for us to be able to send our kids to Catholic School. I have to continue to work instead of staying home along with cutting many things I would love to have. I thought when we had signed her up that we would be looked down upon because we don't have a lot of money or be snubbed away. Well let me tell you that I am so happy about our decision. I have met so many wonderful parents already and most of them are in the same situation we are in and its a struggle to be able to send their kids there as well. I now stand outside of school waiting to pick up Adriana with all the other parents just as I had done for preschool and I have many great conversations. Adriana also plays soccer with the girls from her class so I get plenty of opportunities to meet and talk with more parents that I might not see after school. I also get to volunteer in Adriana's class every Monday morning for accelerated reading and have really gotten to know most of the kids in her class. Not only have I felt very comfortable here, I have had so many families help hold my hand as I'm learning all the new things about this school. The families here are so wonderful and so full of love that it makes me so happy to be a part of this school. I now walk into school to volunteer or to drop something off and I'm greated by first name by the secretary as well as the principal. I'm so happy that I'm not just another face at the school, but I am someone important to everyone there!
