Do I really have a Freshman? Really? No, really? Thank goodness Beth T. told me about Freshman Camp. I had no idea. We signed up for the August 3rd session. They put all the parents and students in the gym. The Principal Mr. Cook talked for about an hour and then the different Advisors talked. They went over dress-code, using cell phones, disciplinary process, etc. Then I found out that the school has 2701 students. Two thousand seven hundred and one students! My graduating high-school class had under 400. My 14 year old daughter is in a school with over 2700 students? I think the stress level just went up.
The kids were then divided up in groups by color stickers. They toured the school with upper-classmen and did a question/answer session. The parents were then divided by color to mini-sessions. We had questions addressed and actually had a rising Senior in our session.
Lauren, Allison, Kristen (Allie's mom) and Allie. Allison and Allie went to Elementary School together but then went to opposite Middle Schools. I am so glad they are back in the same school.
It was a pretty big gym. I don't remember my gym being that big. But then again there weren't 2700 students at my high-school.
Can you believe it? I actually got a picture WITHOUT a tongue sticking out, or that look of 'Mom, if you don't get that camera out of my face.....'. She is so beautiful without those faces. I still can't believe she is in High School!
Lots of information was given and it sure was a lot to take in, however, we must move on..... I am so nervous..my little girl (which she is actually my big girl) is going to High School. Graduation in 4 years, Im sure, will fly by! I hope we all enjoy the ride!
