Awesome School

My wife went to a parents' night for our oldest son's class last night and she was so impressed. She told me every single child in the class had at least one parent attending. Some had both. It feels like a different world here. At our old school, maybe half of the kids would have parents attending something like this.

She also told me there were about half a dozen sign-ups to help with the class as a room mom. Woah! Emily was the room mom for TWO of our kids' classes last year because no one else would sign up!! Now we have a class where about six parents have already volunteered?!

I've seen the correlation between parental involvement and academic excellence before, but this is really driving that point home for me. This school is one of the best in the state. I think I know one of the reasons. This is so refreshing to see so many parents who care so much about their childrens' education.

I love our new home.
