Although it is being accepted with MIXED emotion around our house, this is a cause to celebrate! The girls were accepted at North Hills School. This is a FREE charter school and the details are as follows. Oh my goodness! I cannot thank God enough for this wonderful blessing. The student body is so diverse! Just an incredible campus and opportunities. They will be able to attend through 12th grade!!!!
North Hills ranks only behind Highland Park Schools on SAT scores.
It is mixed emotion because Annabel does not want to leave Rosemont and Grace doesn't think she wants to go there. Sometimes Mom has to know best, I guess!

You're going to drive them out to Irving everyday? Thats quite a long drive!
Drew says its a very good school and one of The Academy's competitors. They have a good IB program.
I wonder how much they pay... maybe I should apply there.
Whoo hoo! I can't wait to hear more. Call me about the Wii Fit.
Wow, that is great news! The girls will like once they are there, I'm sure they just aren't too happy about the change. How did you manage to get them in?
This is such GREAT news!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! I am so excited for all of you. This sounds like a wonderful school - for two wonderful girls!! Love from Colorado, -Holly
This is great news. I can get you connected with other friends that have children at North Hills. It is indeed a wonderful school.
We ate lunch at a very authentic restuarant today at lunch...near of church. Maybe we can meet you and the girls there soon.
