week 1 RMA
Danny has completed his 1st week at RMA and we have declared it to be a complete success so far. They started slowly with 2 days of orientation and activities designed to boost evryones enthusiasm about returning to school. Then it was on to a full 7 class schedule and sports. Each student has a mentor to help them choose electives and sports they will be interested in and to make sure they are keeping up with their work. I have never seen Dan so interested in his school work, he seems to be motivated to do well. There is a wide array of sports to choose from, season and competition play a role in how long each lasts but they can generaly change sport each semester. Dan chose weight lifting this semester and seems to enjoy it. No polo available yet. This weekends shool activity is paintball wars and Dan signed up, so he will be gone all day saturday. If the first week is any indication of how the year will go 6th grade should be a blast.

Great to hear! Have you ever done the paintball thing yourself? We did it a few times. I managed to find myselfin the embarrassing position of being the first one out when I got bored from hanging around the back, and decided on an assault maneuver. After that I just kinda kept my head down. It was a strange mixture of geeky types and survivalist weirdos. Oh, and 6th graders ;)
