schooling update

Great news! You may remember the struggle to make a decision for Ella's schooling in a former post. The latest news is that Ella was accepted at Kennard Classical Junior Academy, the magnet school we were praying she would be able to attend. She will start as a kindergartner there next year. We've also decided to send Simon to the 3-year old preschool class next year at Union, where Ella goes right now. He is very excited to start school just like his big sis. We celebrated Ella's acceptance with a special dinner + brownies and ice cream. She is feeling very special and we are feeling very relieved to have a semi-permanent decision made about Ella's education. Good news is, if Simon can pass his testing, he'll be almost guaranteed a slot at Kennard as well. I wish these decisions didn't have to be so complicated and that all city kids had access to a great, and free, education.
