Time to choose classes again
Yep, its time for A to choose his enrichment classes for next fall again. Next year they are changing to only have 2 classes instead of 3. I understand that they will get more in depth this way, but I still think its a shame that they get to explore fewer areas. Anyway... his top choices follow and we won't know which ones he's gotten until after school starts in August.
