A New School Year

August 12.

It is the day before the first day of school and I am sooooo excited! I heard that there are a few new girls named Brook Cohen, Lottie Hamilton, Maddy Pearl and Claire Seagull all coming to this school! I already know two of the girls, Brook Cohen and Lottie Hamilton, from summer camp. Brook was in the snake boarding lesson with me, and Lottie was in the play Aladdin with me.

Every time I start a new grade, I always pray for the strictest teacher in that grade.
