Bear Valley Elementary

This is the girl's new school - Bear Valley Elementary. It is up on the hill overlooking the inlet surrounded by trees and mountains. I think by just breathing this fresh air their IQ's have increased.





Skyla is starting 3rd grade! Her first day outfit couldn't be more Skyla as it is pink with horses on it. She was so excited and so brave! This is her third school - not counting preschool which is good because she had two different preschools as well! That means my poor child has started 5 different schools in her academic career. :) She's already made lots of friends and loves her class "even though they don't really have free time". They have music and art classes every single week.





Sierra is starting 5th grade. There are 26 kids in her class and she has the nicest teacher ever. When I first saw her teacher, I secretly in my head said, "oh please let that be Sierra's teacher." And it is! She is already excelling and her work has been used as an example in the class twice! She is so much happier this year that it makes me realize how really truly hard last year having a difficult teacher was on her spirit.





And here is the part the girls are the absolute most excited about... The school bus!

Wow, I thought you moved back to CA for a second! Bear Valley was my elementary, too! (Well, obviously not in AL!)
Girls, I love you and miss you! You guys look so happy and adorable on your first day!

Sky, I love your shirt and beautiful smile.

Sierra, I LOVE your new barretts! How's the growing out going?! You look absolutely beautiful!

(Interesting way to abbreviate - AL!? I mean AK! I guess I better go back to school, too!) :)

I'm trying to guess the weather by the way the girls are dressed... low 60s?

They look so happy. We're so happy for them!
