Like every parent, first day of school can be an emotional one. Watching our children move on to their next step in life can be joyous, bring on sadness or create nervousness in some. As for my husband and I, we experience a little of all. Watching our children become young adults is truly an amazing gift. Realizing how fast time goes by can become moving. I pray that we have taught our children what it is to be kind, helpful and bold to others and to themselves.

This year we have a third grader and a first grader and our youngest still at home with me. Like each year, I ask for your continued support and patience as I find a new schedule with my family and with Second Chance Charms. Prayers for wonderful 2016 school year to all our teachers, parents and children!
