Dear friends,

In less than a week, Things will finally start happening! Orientation begins Friday morning and continues through Saturday afternoon, with a Sunday night coffee house gathering thrown in. Registration will take place Monday and Tuesday, and classes begin the next day, Aug. 24. Woohoo! I'm tingling with anticipation, "at the start of a long journey whose destination is uncertain."

We finally heard from our daughter's teacher, and she sounds very nice. We should get a letter listing required school supplies this week (not any too soon, either!). Our son's teacher has six years of experience and has won teaching awards.

I think the parents in this house are more excited than the kids about public school starting up again, but I expect this to be a very good year for us all.

Next week, I will have a report on orientation weekend.

Until then,

Grace and peace,
Beth
