We visited Mitch at the bank and he set up her account here. Then we grabbed a quick lunch and went to the school for a visit. Drew and TJ tagged along, and I took this picture of the 3 of them on the steps of the school.
Many of the teachers were around today in their final preparations for school to start on Tuesday ... and so we had the chance to meet some teachers she will be with. The principal gave us a personalized tour of the school, and it was even fun for Drew to take that tour since the school has completed a big expansion this summer that was taking place the last 2 years of his time at THS. Since he lived through the construction mess as a Junior and Senior ... he enjoyed having a chance to see the finished product!
Beverly will be placed as a Sophomore, but will take a variety of classes at different grade levels. We are going back on Monday morning to meet with the guidance counselor again and put the finishing touches on her schedule ... but it looks like she will take American History, American Government, English II, Geometry, Biology, Spanish, Chorus and Physical Education. The American Govt class is what the Seniors take to prepare for the Constitution class they have to pass to graduate, and it is only one semester ... so we will have to choose one more class for 2nd semester to round out her schedule for the last half of the year.
I think she is looking forward to getting started, and I think she felt very welcome today. All of the teachers were so happy to meet her and complimented her on her English skills.
Tonight she and the kids went to our neighbors to swim and had a great time ... and she learned how to play "Marco Polo" in the pool. :-)We have several things to do yet before she is ready to head to school, but we are close to pulling it all together! I know the weekend will go fast and the kids will be on that bus before we know it!
