Wow, I can't believe it. I am a little nervous for b/c its high school and because she is going into an academically challenging program. She know two others that are going to be in her homeroom, one is a girl from her elementary school and another girl she has gone to different girl guide camps with.
I hope this program is a good fit for her. She will be in class with 25 kids and they will travel as a unit from class to class for the five core subjects (french, english, geography, math and science). She will be integrated with the other 300 ninth graders for the open classes. She is taking phys. ed (one year is required), advanced music, she plays both the piano and flute and business technology. The school is semestered so she won't know until Tuesday what classes she has each semester.
I really hope she loves the program and that she makes lots of new friends. She is going to a dance for ninth graders only Thursday night. It is from 7-10:30 which seems a little late for me but we are going to let her go. She may as well get right into the mix of things from the get go. She tends to be pretty involved in school. She wants to join band and the drama club, she is also talking about trying out for the volleyball team.
Send positive vibes Tegan's way!!

Kelly, I hope Tegan has a wonderful first day tomorrow and that her high school experience will be a great one. I can't believe I'll be in your shoes in just two years.
