Yesterday we had a meeting with Chris Grote, principal at Cambridge Primary School to discuss Rodrigo and his needs for next year. We had our own little Kindergarten Round-Up! It was especially fun because Amy Luck (Rodrigo's preschool teacher in the Philippines) and Shari Reasoner (another educator who has worked with our son) were able to be at this meeting. Sharon Grace (the ESL teacher) was also there. We talked about his personality, his educational progress and his English. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. We will be a part of the RED DAY family! Mr. Grote offered to take some pictures of Rodrigo's teachers and of the school and will email them to me. Wow! In my opinion, that is going above and beyond the call of duty!
All three of our new kids are set to go for the 2008-09 school year. We have already met with the principals at the other schools (CIS and CIHS). Our experience was positive at each school. We feel confident that each of our kids will be welcomed into their respective schools and that the staff will do their best to help them along.
After our meeting, Amy, Shari and Tammy Vosika (another teacher from CSC) came to our house for breakfast. These people are very dear to me as they have nurtured our kids for the last 3 years. I am so grateful that they are committed to helping children without families to feel loved and to be the best they can be! As we said goodbye, I realized that our next meeting would be in the Philippines when we go to pick up the kids!! Exciting!
