First Day of School - Luke

Thursday, August 22

I really feel like the first day of school dragged on and on this year!!  Luke started on a Thursday for some 7th grade orientation.  They have the 7th graders start a day earlier than the 8th and 9th graders so they can find their way around and go through some orientation.  Then he had Friday off and went back to school again on Monday.  Luke is going to be trying band out for the first time and will be starting on the clarinet.  He is hoping maybe to switch to the saxophone sometime down the road.  Luke is also taking a bunch of Honors classes - reading, language arts, science and math.  I took him to the school a couple of days before it started to find his locker and classes and make sure he can find his way around.  He is much less stressed about it than M&M was when she started 7th grade.  I also think getting up on time for school will be much easier for him that it was for M&M!
