My baby is half way done with kindergarten...



I can't believe that Deidra is half way done with kindergarten as of today. A bunch of us moms that helped out with the Christmas party yesterday were talking about where all of our kids were going to go yesterday. Being new to the area, I wasn't sure of which elementary school Deidra would go to. Turns out, that she's going to go to Northside. I guess that this is a very good school and a lot of parents request their children to go here. I looked it up online to read more about it and was pretty impressed with what they offer.

Northside Elementary School

Northside is one of the four elementary schools in Waxahachie I.S.D. that provides a strong academic foundation for first through fifth graders. These schools offer Gifted and Talented programs, Academic UIL competition, choir, Science Fair, Accelerated Reader programs, and extended day programs for students. Students participate in Go Van Gogh, an art study in conjunction with the Dallas Museum of Art, and concerts by the Fort Worth Symphony. Students have daily access to computers and internet as well as weekly library sessions, music, art, and physical education. The results speak for themselves—excellent standardized testing scores and attendance rates.
