Monday, August 29th was the first day of school at Rock Creek Forest Elementary School where Daniel (5th), Eli (3rd) and Micah (all-day kindergarten) will all be attending this year. Grandpa and Micah went to the all-purpose room for a very brief kindergarten assembly and meet-the-teachers time while Daniel and Eli went directly to their classrooms. All went well. After today all three boys will ride the bus to and from school, getting on and off at the nearby Oakland Terrace Elementary School. 
(So, with plenty of time alone at home during the major part of the day, Grandpa has lots of time for projects!)
After school the bus arrived at Oakland Terrace shortly after 4:00 p.m. Marta was home from Montgomery-Blair H.S. in time to meet the boys. Obviously I had to go along in order to snap a photo or two for Grandma Nancy, far away in Malaysia! - rw

wow, did Micah really have to wear that bright pink paper all day.. it kind of clashes with his redskins shirt. I'm surprised he still got a green card with that on. and as for Marta, she looks fantastic.. but I must say, I'm disappointed she didn't wear the Blazers sweatshirt on the first day of school.
Okay, Nzol ... Micah was required to have that pink sheet pinned to his shirt on the first day of school to show which bus he was going to use to get home! As for Marta, she will need to respond ... - Dad
Yes, well, Montgomery County doesn't concern itself with clashing so much as it concerns itself with whether kids get home safely, and also perform well. We're a county of very motivated clashers. The Blazers is actually an appropriate team to wear, Montgomery Blair students are the Blair Blazers!
That last post was from Marta, who despite being a smart Montgomery County-er, doesn't know how to post something in her own name.

I'm so glad you pointed that out, because otherwise I would have assumed that Dad had posted that. Well... I disagree. Clashing can cause a lot of hardship in kindergarten. In fact, I think it has already done damage to Micah's brain as I tried to ask him 3 times about the pink thing he was wearing on his shirt, and he didn't know what I was talking about. He was so traumatized by it, that he tried to remove it from his memory.
oh, Blazers.. really? In that case, wear it!!
