Character counts! 🧡

In August, when my children head off to school on the first day, I’ve started my school year already, so I can’t be there. Today, however, was different & I finally got the chance to drop them off like all the other parents! ❤️ 5th, 3rd & kdg! #TeacherLife

“There are two best days of school… the first day and the last day!” Some shots from their 1st recess as 4th graders!!! 4S is awesome! What a great day! #dg58pride #LEchoosesHAPPY

Every year, on the 1st day, the LE 4th grade team takes a picture before the day begins. Because of the rain, we never got the opportunity yesterday. Shout out District 58 for coming to our rescue and keeping our tradition alive! #LEchoosesHAPPY
