Back to school night

Last night, we attended our second back to school night at BFAS. (Black Forest Academy Sitzenkirch). We sat in on Jacob's class first and heard his teacher, Mr. Carey talk about the curriculum for the year and also all the extra activites planned. In a couple of weeks a father/son camp out is planned. In the Spring, they do an neat underground railroad game at night which is a highlight for everyone. While he was talking my mind kept flashing back to 15 years ago when we sat next to eachother at our college graduation ceremony. I was the last in the "B's" and he was the first in the "C's". Now, all these years later, he is my son's teacher- at an international boarding school in Germany! We feel so blessed to have a neat role model teaching Jacob at this age. Jacob loves telling us stories everynight around the dinner table that Mr. Carey shares with the class.
Next, we went to Anna's class. She was sooo excited for us to see her classroom and her desk. Her teacher Ms. Allen is a vertren teacher having taught oversees for over twenty years. Anna has really been able to connect well with her teacher and class this year.
Even though the elementary school is small- only 45 students- we feel that this is where God wants our children and they are in such good care of a nurturing staff.
