Obama’s daughters begin new school in DC

PRESIDENT-ELECT Barack Obama’s two daughters have checked into their new school in Washington.

Sasha and Malia Obama went back to school yesterday like many other children — with a hug and a kiss from their parents. But not many other children hit a new campus with their own Secret Service men.

The girls — aged 7 and 10 — began their new lives as students in Washington, DC, on separate campuses at the private Sidwell Friends School, the same Quaker academy where Chelsea Clinton studied.
