But leaving your school and most of your friends behind in order to pursue a more fulfilling creative learning outlet is a tough decision for a kid to make. It helped a lot that her friend Julia was there.
And the teacher had a great project for them to work on during a social meet-and-greet night that really helped get them excited for the new year. They did a "scavenger hunt" that took them all around their new school and helped them get familiar with the building.
We're not going to think of this as a "temporary" school...Maggie knows she can't just decide to quit and go back to her old school after a week or so. We're going to stick this out...and it'll be awesome. I may even join the PTO. Wonder if they have a Gifted Parent program?
I'll bet my parents would be pretty surprised when they got that letter.
