Open House, 2007
Tonight was the open house at Beverly Vista Elementary. The kids look forward to this night every year, not because I get to talk with their instructors, not because I get to view their year's worth of classroom projects, but because In 'n Out Burger sends their special truck out for this event for a fund-raising food fest.
This is Allie with her teacher, Denny Magasin (Ben had her as well). Besides being a really great mentor, she has 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that are so cute. I appreciate her dedication to the Wildlife Waystation very much.

She instills a deep sense of responsibility to the animal kingdom into each child.

We made a point of visiting Mrs. Lucky and Mrs. Lehman (1st & 2nd grade teachers for both of my kids)...I strongly believe that the educational and moral foundations these instructors brought to the table added a great deal of goodness to Ben and Allie's personae. I am so lucky to have had them in my children's lives.
