Back to School

Monday, August 23rd, was the first day of school. Jaxson is in kindergarten and has Ms. Bojko at Griffin Elementary. She seems really nice and fun. He was excited about her at the end of the first day. Shaye doesn't have an assigned teacher yet. There were more 3rd graders than they had teachers for, so she currently has a sub until they get somebody hired. It's kind of a bummer, but hopefully it won't take long. They were both a little apprehensive on the first day. I think Jaxson teared up a little, but didn't cry. And when I came back by his class to check on him 15 minutes later he was coloring and happy at his table. Shaye was also a little unsure this year. She has adapted well to the move, but was nervous to start school. The good thing about living in the energy corridor, as they call this part of Houston, is so many people come and go all the time, and most of the kids in her class are new to Griffin this year too. Katy has some of the best schools in the nation, and their elementary is ranked as "exemplary" so we are excited to see what this school year will bring. I'm sure it will be challenging, but hopefully great as well!

Glad to hear they had a pretty good day. How do you like Griffin? Our kids' elementary school is busting at the seems and all but the kids had a good day and were excited to go back today. Hope Shaye gets a teacher soon!
