We stopped by Tatum’s new school today … Great Hearts Veritas
, and they gave us the grand tour. And WOW. It is huge, indoors, fancy, classic, and just plain cool.
She will get to know students from 7th through 11th since their lockers are all together. Sixth grade and seniors have their own spaces, which she thought was pretty neat. She will become proficient in Latin, the arts, math, science… all the good and hard and stretching things.
And she is SO EXCITED.
So excited, in fact, that as soon as we got home she could not wait to go through all her school supplies. A ruler got her pumped up. Yep.
She even started reading The Hobbit with Coopy nearby, of course.
Rio was also very interested and kept trying to get out and join the school-prep party.
After visiting Veritas, we got a cone. Because what else do you do after touring a new school and starting a new chapter?
Oh, and we are also starting needlepoint because apparently we are practicing new things before school starts. Lipsticks and sunflowers seemed like the perfect place to begin. STAY tuned on this!!
All in all, Coopy and I were exhausted from a very full, very fun day.
New school. New supplies. New books. New skills. Same sweet girl. More to come.
