Visits to Spiritridge Elementary



The sidewalk to the school's main entrance.  I will be walking on this path with Sean, Aly and the other two in the stroller every weekday from next Monday!

Sean wasn't too impressed with the new playground.  I agree.  It looks like an art than a plaything.

The main entrance.  There is a library in the back.

The construction of Sean's new school, Spiritridge Elementary, is in the last stage. We drive by it everyday and saw it's transformation from the old brick buildings to a bigger and modern mountain lodge-like buildings for the past year. It helped Sean to slowly accept the idea of going to kindergarten and he is genuinely excited now to start the new chapter in his school life! If you ask him, he would proudly say that he is going to the new Spiritridge Elementary because he is a big kid! 

We took a walk the other day with all four children to take a closer look at the new school.  I didn't see anyone else touring, but no one bugged us, either.  The school is beautiful.  It is modern, but it blends in very nicely with the native trees and plants they had kept.  The property looks much bigger than before, even though the buildings are larger.  It makes me happy to see Sean being excited and telling everyone he is going to the new kindergarten.  So far so good~  Looking forward to the first day of school next Monday!

WOW! Kindergarten!! Look how much they have all grown! It's so gut wrenching and great at the same time! You do such an amazing job with so many small children. They are blessed to have you!!!
