School Year 2016-2017

We now have a 2nd grader and 3rd grader in our family! I kept saying Jack was in 1st grade all last night on accident because it doesn't seem possible that he is in 2nd grade already!
His teacher Mrs. Klein sent him a postcard for a greeting this year, a nice touch. I am praying this year Jack enjoys school, that he improves on his reading, his class as a whole has good behavior and he finds good friends to play with.
This year Jacob's class is in one of the new portables; he is very excited about this. He has several friends in his class. I pray for Jacob this year a smooth transition to the academics of 3rd grade, that he improves his writing, and that he finds kind, good friends.
Of course I pray for both of them that they are spared the negativity and cruelty of others, that God keeps them safe and that they can continue to be who each of them is.
