Tonight was the ice cream social at Evening Street Elementary. Being new to the school idea, we thought that it was a harmless ice cream social. Can I just tell you, the ice cream was just used to sucker us in!!!
Yes, it was Graeters ice cream, for only $2.00 for a single serve. That is a great price, let me tell you. But, it was just to get you there to sign up for PTA, classroom directory, art projects, Eagle Bucks, and more. In just 1 short hour, they took us for a grand total of $22.50. I am still in shock. I realized that school had unexpected cost, but really, is this necessary???
And let me just note, the craziness that was going on was amazing. Maybe we will know more people next year, but being 1st time school parents, nothing really seemed organized, just a free for all with lots of paperwork and money.
I am expecting that my social calendar will be booked with Sophia for the next 13 years. This week there are already 3 events and next week we start soccer. This is crazy. Justin asked for an outline of the typical week, so he would know where he fit in and what he needed to do. Right now, I am just trying to make it through this week and then we can look at attempting to create a schedule. If you are a school parent already, I could use some helpful hints. Please send them my way!!!

CVS has day planners with a row for everyone in the family. It might be helpful to get it organized that way.
