So Excited!

We found out yesterday that Ally will be attending the Spanish-English dual language / immersion school next year! Students are taught 50% in English and 50% in Spanish. Ally will start in Jr Kindergarten (pre-k) and as of right now will remain at this school thru 8th grade. Our district is making some school re-organizations so the middle school years may be changed at some point in the future. In 2011 the school is about 6/10 of a mile from our house and then in 2012 it is scheduled to move to a building much closer, about 1/4 mile away and only about 100 yards from my office! Super convenient, super close, and we're are so excited that Ally will have this wonderful opportunity to become fluent in Spanish at such a young age.

Thanks to Jill one of Ally's current teachers for this spectacular picture of Ally. We think it so captures Ally's joy and excitement. It was taken at school and has nothing to do with kindergarten, but her expression illustrates how happy Becky and I are with the school assignment. Phew, now we can sit back and enjoy the rest of our final year at preschool.
