Open House

Brian and I went to Elijahs open house on Mon. evening. We got to meet all 6 of his teachers and go to all his classrooms. Cedar Bluff is a small, quaint school with about 565 kids. It reminds me a lot of Sterchi, his first elementary school. It is a nice school. He is taking an honors Science class, and his 2 related arts classes are PE and Orchestra. He will be playing the Cello for his instrument. He is enjoying it a lot so far and I have a good feeling about his teachers. There is no line at pick up or drop off so that is incredibly wonderful. I hate sitting in line at school waiting to get your child. It is boring. There is a little boy across the hall from Elijahs homeroom who has the same name as his brother, Zane Atkins, spelled the same and everything. Elijah thought that was funny. I don't think his first name is Ezra though.
He had his first football game last night against Catholic. He did great, but he got hit on the elbow by a helmet and has a monstrous bruise. He will be okay, but I am relieved it isn't broken.
