KINDERGARTEN

Wow, I had no idea that choosing a school would be so difficult.

Noy and I have researched numerous schools and carefully considered homeschooling. After much prayer, our first choice in schools was St. Mary's Academy. The tuition however was a little steep. Actually a lot steep! But, we applied, let Maiza attend the Kindergarten round-up and be tested. She loved it at St. Mary's. We also applied for a scholarship. This process has taken months. We also had a backup school in which Maiza was tested a couple of weeks ago. They admitted her, but I knew from that experience that our back-up school was no longer an option. So we prayed that God would provide enough scholarship for Maiza to attend St. Mary's if that was His will for her schooling.

We were extremely excited this morning when we found out that Maiza was accepted into St. Mary's! And, not only was she accepted, but that should would also receive over half of her tuition in scholarship! It's so wonderful to have this decision made! This is really an answer to prayer!

A few facts about St. Mary's Academy:

• St. Mary's Academy was founded in 1864 by the Sisters of Loretto.
• St. Mary's Academy bestowed the first high school diploma in the Colorado Territory in 1875.
• U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice graduated from St. Mary's Academy in 1971.
