This afternoon John, Kelli and I revisited Northeast School for their 10th anniversary celebration. Johnathan attended K-5 there in their early years. I loved Northeast, Parent involvement was a requirement for enrollment. We had to volunteer 26 hours a year for him to be there. Was never a problem for me, seemed like I lived there sometimes, with being a Scout Leader, helping in the classroom and the various after school activities that always went on there.
It was nice seeing the teachers and other staff. It was amusing to see the look on their faces when they would ask John what grade he was in. Hard to believe he's on his way to high school. They had musical entertainment, a very nice buffet and the halls had pictures, scrapbooks and yearbooks from the past years. It was fun to see the pictures of John when he was just a little guy, especially since he's taller then me now.
I'm so glad that I decided to take the kids. I didn't want to do anything earlier and had made up my mind that we weren't going, but you know how kids are. They harped and nagged me until I gave in and for once I'm glad that they didn't give up. (but don't tell them that)
