Katrena started 3rd grade on August 17th, it is so hard for me to believe I have a kid in Elementary School, let alone 3rd grade. She is such a beautiful, smart girl. She really loves to draw and create things with her hands.
Her first day of school outfit was a gift from her Grammy Ann, I think she looks so sassy and cute. She informed me the other day that last year she wanted to be a tomboy, but this year she is all about being the girly girl and this is so true, Katrena begs to wear a dress or skirt almost every day.
Last year she took the bus on the first day of school, but asked if I would take her this year since she didn't get to go to back to school night and didn't know where her class was. The kids lined up with their classes waiting for their teachers to walk them in. As the kids walked through the gates by grade their were teachers, staff and parents lined up on both sides applauding them on as they started their first day. There was a banner that the students walked by that said welcome future college graduates, I love how this school really tries to motivate the kids to see there potential.
I hope that Katrena always realizes she has the ability to do or be anything she sets her mind too.
