Our last day is tomorrow. Today was DD's last day ever of Spanish- the teacher is leaving and they're replacing it with an online class so she's not planning on doing that. She cried . I hope they eventually get a new teacher because I don't feel like online class being your only foreign language option is satisfactory.
DD got Class President again...with no prom to plan I think this is mostly an in-name-only position, with the option to speak at graduation and perhaps the "honor" of getting to arrange class reunions every 5 years. Oh well, it will look lovely on the scholarship apps.
I was just telling her this morning she really needs some more community service- then today the school emailed that they are starting the Silver Cord program (I think this is an Iowa thing). Since they are just starting her senior year, she only has to do 25 hours to get the distinction. We just need to figure out some places to do them.
Next fall she will have two online college credit classes, in Blocks 2 and 3 of a 4 block day. She was told she wouldn't have to replace them with anything at semester as she would have enough credits to graduate, but with them being in the middle of the day I told her she should just find more classes to take. Perhaps if they were the first two or last two of the day it would make more sense to go part-time but attending just first and last block of the day is silly. Hopefully she can find some more college classes to count for gen eds.
