Just a little update.... Some of you are aware of our ongoing school issues and the fact that this is their last year at their current school (it is closing due to the "economy"). Today we received the official letter from a charter school that they have both been accepted! We are all very excited about it- it is a science and technology school with an exemplary rating. We have visited over a half dozen schools around town to find the right fit, so we are relieved that the search is finally over! Aidan and Amy are also very excited- they really liked this school when we attended their open house and science fair a few months ago. The school is free and has all grades, K-12. They have a fantastic variety of after school clubs, gifted/talented courses, and specialized classes, like NASA involvement, gifted electronics, robotics club, cooking club, jump rope club, etc. AND, it's only about 5 miles from our house! (Their current school is 23 miles.)
Today their school had their annual Bike Rodeo. Neither wanted to participate, but we loaded up their bikes anyway. To my surprise, when I picked them up after school, both had won first place and an invitation to the city-wide Bike Rodeo, which they are both insisting on attending! Who knew?
6 more weeks of school! We are looking forward to summer.
