August 27, 2008 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Today is Jared's first day of high school. This is also the start of Jared's 4th year with PAVCS.
My older son just started business school today, so this morning was pretty busy.
We haven't received any books from K12 yet. I hope they are coming soon. Orientation is all this week, so as long as we get them by next Tuesday we should be fine. If not, the teachers have plans in place so that school begins smoothly.



Jared had his orientation this morning. Going into high school is a lot different this year. His schedule is not at all like last year. Jared seems very happy with how his high school schedule is.

I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Heidi. I live in Central PA. Our household has myself, my husband, and two sons. The older son attends business school. The younger son is enrolled in a virtual charter school. We also have a 12 year old Miniature Schnauzer named Buddy and a 11 year old inside only calico cat named Purrmy.

Jared is kind, funny, liked animals, and is big into building models. He enjoys anime (Japanese animation), Bionicles, Star Wars, Gundam, Transformers, Pokemon, and such. Jared is great with computers and video games. If it's electronic, Jared figures it out quickly. He's a great kid.

Our family loves Walt Disney World. We usually go every other year. Our last vacation was in December 2007. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort. It was great as always. We don't usually vacation anywhere else. Have a question about Disney World? Don't be afraid to ask.
Even my husband looks forward to going back to Disney. We never tire of it.

I have been into scrapbooking for 10 years. I love photography, and Jared has started enjoying that, too.

We love PAVCS. My only regret is not starting Jared with PAVCS sooner. I started speaking with the school when Jared was in 3rd grade, but didn't make the switch until Jared was in 6th grade. The curriculum is wonderful. Jared has learned far more with PAVCS than he would have in our traditional school district. Every year Jared has the choice of going back to his local school district or staying with PAVCS. It's PAVCS hands down.

This is our first blog. I'm not sure if we are doing this right, but I guess I'm done until tomorrow. :)
