We visited Bob's school today, moved in boxes, so sweet to be making a new beginning. I learned today that there is a large international refugee community at his school, from many nations. He will have at least one student from the Congo, one of three brothers known to a friend of mine who works with resettlement for refugees. Apparently there is a very high quality nonprofit apartment complex across the street from the school which houses refugees from all over the world, many of whom have large families which attend the school. We met the young assistant principal, very likable young man and former first grade teacher who was dressed as informally for moving boxes as Bob and I were.

I love the energy of the beginning of the school year, even without being a kid or having school-aged kids, the energy doubled and tripled by your enthusiasm and Bob's, Victoria

It is good that Bob has the opportunity to get to know his school and its enironment before school starts...and also has the opportunity to meet other people in his school.

Ah, the beginning of the year excitement. Always feel it even though I don't have much to do with school these days!
