I am completely floored that Eva is one year away from High School. Today we visited my Alma Mater, Bishop Feehan High School. It was Open House and it was very eye opening. I graduated 30 years ago and so much has changed at the school. For instance the building that was once the place where we took religion classes which was dubbed “Little City of God” by the students is now the arts center. If Eva decides to go to Feehan I suspect that his will be her favorite place to spend time.
Watching the presentation was really interesting to me. I loved my time at Feehan, it was a fantastic school and I have always wanted my kids to go there too. However, if either decides to go to another school then that will be their decision.
Eva was very interested in some of the clubs that are offered at the school. We noticed many posters all around the school for so many different clubs. I also noticed that the school had an eSports program and that was very interesting to Andy. It was certainly something I wish was around when I was a kid. I do hope that we’ll be spending the next 8 years with Feehan.
When I was growing up my Aunt Cindy bought me a subscription to Highlights™ Magazine. I loved that magazine for all the fun stories inside and also the Hidden Pictures®. There was also Goofus and Gallant, two kids who taught us about manners and more. Every time I was at a doctor’s office or dentist there was Highlights™ Magazine. It was everywhere and I enjoyed it very much. Now Highlights™ has branched out into educational workbooks for kids as well as a giant book of Secret Hidden Pictures® Puzzles. I was sent some of these for free to review with Andrew. This is what we thought.
We received the Highlights™ Big Fun Workbooks for First and Second Grades. Andrew is in First but he loves doing workbooks and he is quite smart so I figured that he could do the Second Grade level work. He can. He likes to be challenged and to figure things out. These workbooks have so many different parts to them and they are filled with the humor and wonder that Highlights™ has always been known for. I feel confident that Andrew is adding to his knowledge by using these workbooks. Here is more about the workbooks from the official Highlights™ description.
