Last year the last day was a sad one for Jaden, he was leaving the school he had been at since age three in Judy Center, thru Pre-K and Kindergarden -- for the upcoming 2010-2011 school year he had been accepted into the Gifted and Talented program and that meant leaving this school for a new one, that's hard for a 6 year old. To help him feel better we went and took pictures with the Principal, Asst Principal, his Pre-K asst teacher and his Kindergarden teacher --plus a pic of him with all his classmates. He is now at the new school for this year and settling in well, he did get sad when he saw me working on this though.
