President-elect Barack Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia, started their first day of school on Monday.

Along with a motorcade of U.S. Secret Service agents, Michelle Obama accompanied the girls to the Sidwell Friends School - which counts Chelsea Clinton as an alum CNN reports.

Look back at photos of famous first children.

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. (Current tuition: $28,442 for Sasha's elementary school; $29,442 for Malia's middle school.)

"A number of great schools were considered," Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, has said of the girls' education. "In the end, the Obamas selected the school that was the best fit for what their daughters need right now."

    change has come and with change comes an unease that gets displayed with comments that have no validity or make any sense for that matter. In the end black people can and should be proud to see this long awaited day. Rosa parks sat so Martin could walk, Martin walked to Obama could run, Obama is running so we can fly not as black people nor white people but lets all fly as americans together
