The waiting is over.......thank you all for voting! I received countless emails and texts from you all and appreciate your input. Our family 2010-2011 school year motto is:
"Soaring to Excellence"
Setting the Table & the Theme
This time of year is always special to me, some of my happiest moments from childhood were from Back to School. Our mother always made sure we went back to school with new shoes, new clothes, new lunchboxes, new school supplies....times 4!!! I don't know how my parents did it but they did. I am eternally grateful.
The new school year was a time of enrichment & growth for me at Ole Hanson Elementary School. I can still remember my mother driving us to school the week before to see the class rosters posted and to find out which teacher we were assigned to & to see if any of our friends were in the same class.
I want to make sure my child has the same fond memories of this time of year as I do. We started the school year motto last year with great success and will continue all the way through to college! Postivie thinking!

| A Toast to a successfull new school year! |
Finn loved Toasting
(Toasting glasses compliments of Aunt Kara,
a birthday gift 10 years ago..Merci!)
Hungry?
Before Finn went to bed tonight, we read the following books: Marley goes to school & If you take a mouse to school. They were specifically chosen for this night before Finn heads back to school tomorrow as a Pre-K student.
(Checked out from our local library)
Our evening was a great success! Finn is now fast asleep and I am doing dishes, endless dishes. I made everything myself except for the sparkling pink lemonade (thanks Trader Joes!)
Here's to the new school year and Soaring to Excellence!!!
