We have been blessed to find such an amazing private school for our children. It's really much more than a school (and a fantastic one at that!), everyone there is like family. All of the parents are good friends, and the teachers and staff love on the kids like their own. That's why I fought back tears during Ava's pre-k graduation!
Ava is, well, my "wild child" who dances to her own beat. She's very independent, social, and VERY strong willed...not sure where that came from :-) She has come such a long way the past two years and I owe a lot of that to Primrose. She went from tantrums, running away, parent/teacher conferences that would leave me in tears, to now reading, writing, and being a good listener in class. She loves her friends, loves life, and I'm so proud of her achievements!

Walking up to the stage.
When the class gathered on the stage, Ava stood up and held the American Flag and led the room in the Pledge of Allegiance. When it was time for her diploma, she stated that she wants to be a mom when she gets older, her favorite thing to do in school was play with magnets, and that her favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean. Not sure where she got the idea to say Pirates of the Caribbean, since she's never even seen the movie!!! But, that's Ava :-)

Dr. Rigley, the owner of Primrose Firewheel, cried as she gave her speech at the end. This was the first graduating class where many of the students were in the infant room when she first opened the school four years ago.
Ava's teachers, Ms. Ryburn and Ms. Golman. Both have been with the school since it opened.
