This is the first year that both my boys will be in the same school... one in kindergarten and the other in 5th grade.
It is a glorious day and a sad day... my sons are growing up... no more baby boys... no more little ones... just two wonderful grown up little men.
I feel so lucky to have such a great public school to send them to. Highland Park Elementary is beyond awesome! The diversity of the student body makes it a cultural melting pot that I believe if more kids were exposed to something like this... there would be a lot less hate in the world!
The teachers are caring and wonderful. The facility it's self is like brand new! I'm just not sure we could ask for more from a school for our boys.
Yeah it is a hard day for us, the parents... but I am very comforted in knowing that they are being well taught and cared for while they are here.
They are on their way... and I am so very proud of them and I feel very lucky to have this school in their lives! read more
