BIG NEWS

We have been impatiently waiting for March 10 when we would hear whether Ally was accepted to private high school for next year. 

Well it’s March 9 but a package arrived.




Ally is at home doing remote school today. Becky is teaching in person at her own school. But I texted them to let them know a package arrived. Showing amazing restraint Ally waited until her class was over and then came downstairs.


She said she was nervous. 


But not for long as she started to read the acceptance letter.


Sheer excitement. 
And a huge relief.  


It’s a nice welcome package with school branded items; a pennant, pencil, cell phone card holder, chocolate bar, hand sanitizer and lip balm! Which Ally opened and tried out in the photo below.





Ally is so happy. 

She did not read the 2nd letter enclosed which states we did not receive any financial aid. Which is a disappointment to Becky and I but not entirely unexpected. It will make the next four years pretty challenging financially and then college after that. But we truly believe this is the very best place for Ally to learn and grow. That this school will prepare her for college and support and encourage her so she can build her academic self confidence as well as her self esteem as a student. 


Soon the break between classes was over and she had to log in to ELA but not before hanging up the pennant in her work space. 

We love her so much.
