Manzanita SEED

We got our school assignment from Oakland Unified. After a little mistake on their part (long story for another day), they assigned us Manzanita SEED, the spanish dual-immersion. We'll register Samuel for school next week. While somewhat nervous about our decision, we are getting more and more excited.
