Back to School 2019

Back to School 2019

The college kids had to go back to school in August this year, while the younger 3 got to extend their summer until after Labor Day.

Emma started her senior year at Towson University, and will be finishing up her double major of Fine Arts and Psychology. She doesn't have many required credits left for her degree, but her scholarship is based on semester, so she is taking some extra art classes and is taking and working a class as a proctor.

Rachael started her freshman year at UMBC, with a Commuter retreat to the Washington Zoo. She is a Geography Environmental Science major and is taking 12 credits, while living at home and working 4 mornings a week at 7-11.

Megan is a sophomore at Catonsville High School. She's taking Child development this year, along with Photography and AP Psychology and AP World History. She's also trying out a few clubs such as Model UN, which she may trade in favor of trying Debate Club. She is doing SWE Society Women Engineers and is managing the JV Volleyball Team.

Bridget is in 7th grade, and is begrudgingly getting through the public school system. She is getting daily instruction for dyslexia with Mrs. Hansen and that is a huge benefit. She is continuing the french horn and she spends her lunches in the library with her friends. She has a nice group of girls that she hangs out with and this year she walks to and from school after gathering at the bottom of the street. Bridget is actively petitioning to be home schooled, because she feels rushed in her classes and stressed by the chaos of the environment. We are looking into it. She is doing Girl Scouts and religious ed after school.

Johanna started 1st grade and she is in Ms. Noriega's class. There are five section of her grade and it turned out that only one friend from last year is in her class this year. She was so excited when we went to "Sneak a Peak at your seat" that she paced the room multiple times and even laid down and log rolled on the carpet. It wasn't quite the first impression I had envisioned. Johanna has been a great student and is flying with her academics.  After school she does choir, soccer, and a Young coders club.
