Sunday - Monday Report

It's been a wild and crazy four days for all the members of the Garden School. Thursday evening, the faculty met at the Acropolis for a wonderful dinner and three hour faculty meeting. We discussed every child at school. We talked about a lot of the projects and programs that are coming up this month. It was a magnificent meeting. I've wanted to do this for years, but we have never had a faculty that was willing to spend out of school time on this kind of loving caring evaluation of our little kids. More about that later.

We have a great September planned. The focus is on families and what we do to contribute to our communities. We have several parents coming to talk to children about our work. If you would like to be one of those parents, please see a teacher.

Friday, we made mud men. These are our little creations that go with the creation story. This is an important reference, and children should know both the creation story and the evolution theory to be well rounded little people. This is in no way doctrine. It is for families to strengthen children's belief. It is for us to tell both stories.

Saturday, the Ross family and the Miller family arrived to help put in the new fence. It went very well, but it was a lot of work. We can't thank them enough for all the work they did. The fence looks magnificent. My daughter Katy was able to get a really nice deal on the fence, and we were able to put it up because of families like ours who would give a Saturday and Sunday to manage this for us. More about this later.

Sunday, Jeremy Ross and his crew were back at it to finish the fence. Again, considering the weather, it went very well. These people are a Godsend, a blessing and a joy to know. More about this later.

Today is Monday. It's shopping day for Miss Judy. More work at school to reclaim Miss Amy's class which took a beating from the router and some other equipment. Her poor carpet...

Tuesday is coming too fast. Lots to do... lots to do...
