It’s that time of year again… time to think about September and the impending school year. Parents everywhere are breathing an anticipatory sigh of relief. Or perhaps quietly feeling a pang of sadness mixed with joy at the thought of their little darlings enrolling in school for the first time. If you have young kids that aren’t yet enrolled, the Riverwest community and surrounding areas have many elementary school options for you to pursue.
