Denise Richards & Her Little Scholars

Denise Richards took her two daughters, Sam, 5, and Lola, 4, to their first day of school in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday (September 8). Both girls seemed a bit reluctant to get to class, knowing that mommy was not joining them. Denise carried their princess school bags into their Christian school.

The 38-year-old Denise Richards: It's Complicated star recently talked about her bittersweet feelings of Sam beginning kindergarten:

Sami starts kindergarten, which I cannot believe, in a couple of weeks. I’m so sad about it. I can’t believe how fast five years have gone. I’m very proud of her and very happy, but from here on out she’s in school.”

Sam and Lola’s father is Denise's ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
