Rising 7th Grader! Orientation at Orange Park Junior High

We rushed back from Pinehurst on Sunday, picked up Ginger from Carolyn and dropped Coach Bryan off at his Eagle Harbor home so that AA would be ready for this morning's OPJH orientation.
All went well this morning with AA sorting through her school supplies, put on her Rolling Stones concert t-shirt and hopped in the truck with both Daddy and Mommy me!



Ford and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at Metro Diner, Walmart shopping, walked Ginger, played fetch with Ginger, cleaned out one more corner of AA's bedroom, etc. Then we sat down and FORGOT about the TIME! Ford jumped up at noon and ran out the door. Good news that Jana Kinder was picking up Owen, so she told AA that we were running late. Big OOPS!! The kids were dismissed at 11:50 so she did have a short wait.
At the orientation, the kids played a "ice breaker" game, she met several kids, including Chloe who walked with her the entire time. AA said the cheerleaders were good at the pep rally and they did the school classroom tour. Looks like she does not have PE (good thing!), she got both chosen electives: Robotics Team and Spanish. The program included a session about managing stress, bullying and following your dreams. She is in the Early High School Academy/Wildcats so several of her classes count as High School credits. Should be a GREAT year!
