Sadie was all set to go to school at West Point Elementary on August 29th. She was so excited to start school and could hardly contain her excitement. She was scheuled for the afternoon, but she got up extra early and was ready to go. She looked so cute and so grown up! One of our friends little girl was in Sadie's class so we took lots of pictures of them together.
When I got home from dropping her off, I was looking through my email and found an email about Sadie being accepted into the Syracuse Arts Academy. The Arts Academy is a charter school and kids have to be placed in a lottery and picked in order to attend the school. We had put her into the lottery back in May and didnt think she would ever get accepted because we had applied so late. So, I was worried about what to do. The Arts Academy had already been in school fo two weeks by that point, I would have to drive her back and forth every day and uniforms were required. I told Sadie about the whole situation when I picked her up from school and we decided to think about it. The next day I took her to the Arts Academy to see how she felt about it and as soon as she saw all the art and murals on the walls, she said that she wanted to go there. So, we quickly filled out all the registration stuff, scrabbled to the store for some uniforms and got prepared for her second 1st day of school.
She has just taken off in school. She knows her site words, is starting to read, is a pro at writing her name and loves the art projects. She hates that school is only three hours and begs me not to come pick her up so she can stay longer and especially hates the short days. This little girl understands the value of an education and her excitement for learning is contagious.
