One was at the end of our street, one was 8 minutes away, and one was 45 minutes away. <br /><br />While I REALLY would have loved to do the one that was 45 minutes away (because it was sort of ridiculously awesome) we ended up choosing the school right next to our house - and it has been HEAVENLY (and also ridiculously awesome - much to my pleasant surprise). <br /><br />Good luck!the Lola Lettershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717397768716885420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-91258782234846497142010-11-23T21:11:53.567-05:002010-11-23T21:11:53.567-05:00Good luck!

Those are the two most important clues I can tell you to look for on your tour! It isn't who has the most technology, bells, and whistles, but who puts kids first and cares about the child rather than the outward appearance of education. I taught 18 years in a public high school, and our girls are attending a very small Catholic school in our town. I LOVE this school and the opportunities it offers our girls to do whatever they want to do. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003384586082557583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-39759952025117790052010-11-23T18:53:23.834-05:002010-11-23T18:53:23.834-05:00First of all...LOVE your pictures, & your blog...First of all...LOVE your pictures, & your blog is fantastic! Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog too - great to e-meet you! :-)<br /><br />WOW, what a decision you're having to face, huh? I've never heard of such a thing. Here it's you go to whatever school you're closest too. We've thought about a Christian education maybe in the future, but right now public school is working out great. It sounds like you are really taking your decision seriously, and will get the best for your girls - that's awesome! :-)Karli @ The Bonnie 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14537685655788113712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-13469891461944823362010-11-23T18:49:11.032-05:002010-11-23T18:49:11.032-05:00Decisions, decisions....

It honestly makes me ill that parents have to worry so much about where their kids will go to school, and if they will have a good education. It shouldn't be like that!<br /><br />But you are a good mom who cares, and that will certainly benefit your girls!Kaileighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616364760044938621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-4690727852463960612010-11-23T16:48:33.118-05:002010-11-23T16:48:33.118-05:00Your little girls are so beautiful!

I cannot fathom putting my little one in school right now but I know that I will have to do that fairly soon. <br /><br />I've been to Louisville a few times. It's a nice city. My little family may be moving there in a year or so when I graduate from EKU next Fall. I look forward to seeing which school you choose for your girls. Education is so important. Good luck on making a decision!Mama Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916917375733715173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-80992285478176892482010-11-23T15:41:28.359-05:002010-11-23T15:41:28.359-05:00That last photo is gorgeous!

It sounds like it is all "up in the air" just like the kite...such appropriate photos for this post. <br /><br />I miss the days of neighborhood schools. I miss the sense of community it created when all the children walked to school together and all the kids in the neighborhood knew each other. Times have changed and now there are a lot of options. Often that is a good thing. I'm sure you will make the right decision for your girls, although you may sprout some gray hairs making it.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188739464116707416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-33503371919864459202010-11-23T13:41:02.735-05:002010-11-23T13:41:02.735-05:00anything dealing with your childrens future is wor...anything dealing with your childrens future is worth any extra effort.<br />You have alot to go over right now and pros & cons of both.<br />Kyle goes to a traditional public school system and he has always done great. I have never been a fan of home schooling. I think children need to be out in a regular school setting with their peers and not at home around a kitchen table with mom as the teacher. I believe children need to learn to accept instruction and discipline from other adults.<br />Good luck!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856320171114749995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-79127840848450592422010-11-23T13:05:12.968-05:002010-11-23T13:05:12.968-05:00have you thought about homeschooling ?have you thought about homeschooling ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485274991629000871.post-69142986554765568462010-11-23T12:27:45.193-05:002010-11-23T12:27:45.193-05:00Excuse me...I am in love with that last picture. ...Excuse me...I am in love with that last picture. <br /><br />And sad but true...some parents just ship their kids to school so they can have their own free time.
