First day of school is always full of excitement to see their friends. With jet lag, they are up early with plenty of time to get ready for school. This will end soon and Roxi will have to “attack” the girls to get them out of bed. The bus is leaving at 7:04am this year, therefore, wake up call has been moved to 6:20am to be downstairs at 7:00am.

Emersyn is in her last year at Middle School as an 8th grader. She moves classrooms to her various teachers. She has a good group of teachers for 8th grade. She has Mr. Umphenour for pre-algerba. He is the lead teacher for the dive trips and the leadership trips. He is also lead teacher for NJHS. He is a teacher Emersyn knows well. Emersyn has Mr. Lambert for Language Arts which is very good for her. He is very passionate about writing, therefore, she will have a fun year with him. She never seems to have her lunch table friends in her classes, but it always opens her up to make new friends.

Emersyn was due for new shirts and shorts this year. This year the shorts are extra ugly – bad color and awkward fit…the good news is everyone has the same ugly shorts!

Eleri is in her last year in Elementary School as a 4th grader. She has Ms. Muir for her teacher this year. This is Ms. Muir second year at Concordia and she is just delightful!! Eleri added she is pretty! She has a few friends from her 3rd grade class in her room which is always a plus. Eleri is going to have a fun year with Ms. Muir.

Eleri didn’t need any new summer uniforms. She has those size 8 shirts she refused to wear last year because they hung too long. Since she is wearing last year’s shorts, Eleri shorts are less “dorky”.
