Curriculum Night: Part I

Tuesday night was curriculum night at St. Mary's School. It's the opportunity for parents to hear what lies in store for their children, as well as the responsibilities that are on the parents for the school year.

So I was listening intently and taking notes during the nearly two-hour-long session for parents of children in grades 5-8 (Emily is in sixth). Thursday will be another curriculum night for Lauren, Julia and Olivia's grades.

My favorite part of the night had to be when the librarian (pictured at right) emerged with an elaborate balloon hat. It got everyone's attention and provided a much-needed spark to what was becoming a tedious time of sitting in the bleachers.
