When John checked the mail on Thursday there was a letter from the Seminole County Schools for us. Inside was the letter we've been waiting for since December. It was our letter of notification that Ashley has been selected to attend Sanford Middle Magnet School. Ashley had gone to the open house with John back in October and came home so excited, practically begging for us to put in an application for her. It is a science and math magnet school. Ashley wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up and the school has special classes guided for this as well as other science and math professions. One of the science classrooms has two tanks that are stocked with fish that the kids have to take care of and learn about.
We were excited to share the news with her so we sat her down and told her we had received a letter. At first we were going to try to pull the "I'm sorry Ashley" trick and then surprise her with telling her the wonderful news. But as soon as I showed her the envelope she says to us "I know, I got in" so matter of fact. It turned out that her school was notified as well and the guidance counselor had told her that day at lunch. So our moment was a bit ruined but she is still very excited to have gotten into the school she was really hoping for.
