How old are children when they start school?
Pre K here is 4 yrs of age by August 1. But to start kindergarden they must be 5 yrs old.

Do you have Kindergarten or Preschool?
This school district has a voluntary pre-k. You sign up and they go type thing. Kindergarten is mandatory. You can send your child to a Preschool of your choosing if you want to pay for it. But all you have to do at this district is purchase the supplies. But it goes for only half a day.

Here is our school districts web site if you want to look at that.

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.
