New School (from home!)

Last week I got a voicemail informing me that Adelyn's name had been drawn in a lottery for 5th grade from a local choice school and that they also had a spot in the 2nd grade class for Cameron. This was certainly a surprise given that we had put our names on the list back in 2014. I had completely forgotten about the school and now we had one week to decide if we wanted the kids to go there. We remembered when we toured the school that we were told that we had a better chance of winning the real lottery than having our children selected to get into this school. We figured that was a sign of being lucky so we better take it!

That meant the kids finished up their last week at their current school yesterday and start on Monday at the new school, which is K-8. We are excited and even though it feels strange to try a new school during remote learning the kids are pretty excited too. We met their teachers (virtually) last week and they are very nice. Feels good to have something new to look forward to and we really hope they can go to school in person at some point this year.
