Parenting Day 2

Yesterday I forgot to mention we went to the high school to sign up for classes and the girls got to meet the counselor They have a great mix of fun and challenging classes. 

They also gave us some gifts of native clothing from their countries.  

Today they helped us continue our remodeling by doing some painting and other odd jobs. 

Then, since it was Pakistan’s Independence Day we put on our native clothing and took some photos. 

Then we went to new student orientation and open house at the high school, met several teachers, and made a final schedule adjustment. I was really pleased with some of the teachers’ enthusiasm for having them in class and at school. Especially the JROTC teacher who really went out of his way to express his excitement to and make sure Mariyam got into a class that would be the best experience. This really has been a bright spot in our school district struggles.
