We've got a lifetime of memories and treasures in that attic that need to be sorted. The stove Steve's dad made for Evan when, at age four, he wanted to be a baker. Multiple sets of construx and erector sets that Justin built spaceships with. Gear that Colin sent back from Korea and never even unpacked. The quilt my great grandmother made for me when I was ten and the matching sweaters my mom knit for herself and dad. How can I get rid of any of it?
I spent two hours working on the recruiting and enrolling chapter and made significant progress. I got to thinking that this is actually the end of the planning stage in many ways. Every other aspect of the program must be set before any recruiting can take place. We could not convince parents to permit their children to participate unless the entire program was set.
The cast list for Aida was posted this afternoon. As we expected, Graciela and Kate and got the leads. With this cast and crew, this year we'll win it all at the Kenneys!
Tomorrow is the deadline for student leader applications. On Tuesday, we had four. When I called the Brocton secretary this morning, she had two in her possession. This afternoon, one of the girls ran into Steve in the parking lot and suddenly remembered her application. Stuffed in her backpack, she extracted a crumpled sheet. Tonight, two neighbor boys delivered applications chewed by their dog! Steve will pick up the rest tomorrow afternoon and then we'll see who has paid attention to the directions, announcements, texts, Facebook posts and reminders.
Bazinga! Sheldon's favorite retort when he tells a joke. It is not an accepted word!
The tree is up, lights are lit!
Progress!
