Hello Friends!
Oh my word -- how did it get to be the end of May already?
Sorry to be sooooo slow to update.
Happy to report Mr. Tennis is recovering well from his ailments
and hospital stay.
Online learning during this covid time
of life and final semester of senior year has been challenging
to put it mildly.
Imagine your final high school semester and all the fun stuff
cancelled all of a sudden!
Meanwhile, teachers loaded on the homework assignments!
Not fun!
But, Maddie focused and finished strong even
with the challenges of at-home learning.
One of the hardest parts (besides the excessive classwork)
was not being able to see classmates and friends.
She really enjoyed the TCA learning which involved half-days at her
home high school (Pius X) and half days at the
community college. She would highly recommend that to any
students who have the opportunity. Great chance to get out of your
home high school and expand horizons and learning!
Graduation is currently scheduled for early August.
We wish they would have it sooner - like in the football field?
That would allow for ample social distancing!
Our city had a fun neighborhood grad walk last weekend
and I will tell you about that next!
Oh . .. and our pup Frannie has been growing fast!
More about her later too!
