| The exact replica of the original school house, now the administration building |
We survived the preschool admissions process. Hallelujah! A big pat on the back should go out to us! This has been the most exhausting thing we have gone through in a long time and it all ended yesterday.
Our little guy will be attending Germantown Academy in the Fall. A Prek-12th grade nonsectarian school. The oldest nonsectarian school in the nation.
If you have been rolling your eyes, we understand. This can all seem so ridiculous if you are not in the thick of things. Sometimes we think it is ridiculous--we've gotten over that part. In the end, it is the biggest financial decision we will ever make, so a little bit of intensity coupled with anxiety should be expected, right?
We originally picked Springside Chestnut Hill, but had a change of heart after our meet and greet. So, we decided to reevaluate our decision and shoot for a school that we originally thought was out of reach. We felt like we had nothing to lose because we were late in the admission process. If we didn't get in we could always blame it on that small little fact of being late.
After a 2 hour evaluation/playdate (longest evaluation to date) and a parent interview we were told that Asher was accepted. We can now put this chapter behind us. What a relief and what a rollercoaster ride.
I hope the month of July has us reminiscing and writing about other things, such as my son calling me a vegetable out of frustration with getting ready for bed. (yes, that was the meanest word he could come up with) Or that he got to go to his first baseball game with his Nana and Pop-pop, what a treat. In the meantime, Go Patriots!
