WASHINGTON (CNN) - President-elect Barack Obama doesn't begin his term for another two weeks, but daughters Sasha and Malia began theirs on Monday.
According to the president-elect's transition office, Michelle Obama accompanied the two daughters to the Sidwell Friends School Monday morning - along with an expansive motorcade of U.S. Secret Service agents.
Sasha, 7, is in second grade and attending the elementary school campus in Bethesda, Maryland while Malia, 10, is in fifth grade and attending the Sidwell Friends middle school campus in Washington, DC.

Good luck to the girls. Now I wonder how Obama stands on the issue of vouchers...or do only the rich (like Barry and Michelle) get to send their kids to the exclusive private schools.
Awww Pammy...So negative. Did you put your dentures in before you posted?
To Richard Rohde.........943am 1/5. We would love to never see or hear about Palin and her family in the news again. ................the lefties are not demented...................it is the Republicans that are sore losers
GOOD FOR YOU BEAUTIFUL GIRLS YOU ARE.
Sasha Obama vs. Pipper Palin for the future presidency.
I'd vote for Sasha!!
Lia – you are absolutely correct!
