Rana is officially a first grader!
Feeling mostly excited and a little nervous,
she ventured over to the school for the festivities this morning
with her backpack and her obligatory "school bag," a cone full of
school supplies and goodies that parents and grandparents
present to first graders on their first day of school.
After a church service, a welcome speech, and a musical
interlude performed by the 2nd graders,
Rana and her classmates were called up to the stage
and escorted to their classroom by their teachers.
Then, after about an hour, the parents were invited
into the classroom to present the kids with their school bags.
What a festive way to start school!
The real work starts tomorrow.
