The highlight of the day was JROTC. It should be an interesting year. Every Monday they have drill sessions, Tuesday and Thursday is classroom instruction, Friday is physical training and Wednesday is uniform inspection. Luckily, the uniforms are free thank goodness, since it all has to be dry cleaned!!! This is according to Hunter so I am not sure that I am going to count on the free!!! LOL
In addition to all of that, they have to do 30 hours of community service a semester and a list of activities like attending football games, In Honor and Remembrance Cermony at the American Legion over Labor day weekend, the Winder Christmas parade. This is depending on which group they are in such as the color guard, courtesy patrol, the drill team and the Raider's. I don't know what the courtesy patrol or the Raider's actually do!!! Hunter is really wanting to be in the drill team and the rifle team. We will see how it all works out.
This semester he only has 2 core classes Algebra and Language Arts. I told him with a lighter load that I expect higher grades. His other elective class is Broadcast Video. It sounds similar to working in a news room by taking video, editing, creating movies. We had to sign a concent form that the kids could use our pictures/video taken at home to be in the school paper and possible news!! I will have my hair done and no pj's during that time!!! LOL
The best part of today is that I haven't ever seen Hunter this excited about school!!! I hope his excitement continues.
It's weird being back in school without going to the beach this year however, we did go white water rafting. That was an adventure but I will post on that later after I get the pictures back. In order to get pictures the camera had to be waterproof and we have to send off film to be developed. Such old technology!!!
Hope you are all doing well. Please update us with what is happening with your family!!!
