Two years ago today, Melrose Leadership Academy launched the Spanish immersion program with two kindergarten classes. Our daughter started Melrose on the first day two years ago, when the school's future was a little more in doubt. Two years later, MLA has expanded to six classrooms with Spanish immersion instruction from kindergarten to second grade.

The Melrose school year started on August 29th this year. My daughter is now in second grade and my son has started kindergarten. Besides being my son's first day of elementary school, he also lost his first tooth. It was also the first day our two children have ever attended the same school at the same time. While life seems to be getting easier, our first day of school was still emotional.
