This is Destiny, my angel. She is new at school…a very hard thing for a fifth grader, especially since she attended her old school since kindergarten. Destiny, or Dee Dee as we call her at home, is an extremely accepting, compassionate, sensitive, funny, and athletic girl (so if any of you in our new area know the right basketball leagues to get in to, please let me know).
We, of course, love our daughter with all our hearts and, in attempt to make this transition easier for her, are throwing the “new girl at school” a welcoming party.
Friday, March 5th @ 5-9pm. We will be feeding the girls. Her cousin and a few friends will be sleeping over as well, and that is optional for everyone. I am so not offended if you don’t want your daughter to stay all night, we are also very protective parents and understand that.
RSVP AND GET ADDRESS/DIRECTIONS @ 910-9135.
My name is Donna Sparrow (obviously you know that if you’re reading my blog) and I really appreciate your support for my daughter.
