Class of 2025!

Emerson is officially a part of Mentor's Class of 2025 (as to whether that changes to another school's class of 2025 will be determined at a later date!)! We registered her at Bellflower Elementary (top pic is preregister and bottom is post register- note there was no cathartic change from the event). I am actually excited about her attending Bellflower. When you imagine elementary school, most think of a school with long hallways and classroom doors and large windows. Bellflower has none of those things. It is half underground and an open concept school. The walls are limited; mostly cabinets and dividers provide separation. Doors only exist on a few select rooms (such as the bathroom). There is a huge two floor open area when you enter and you are greeted with computer areas- everywhere! The school is slathered in artwork and although you would think that such an open concept building would be noisy... it was so quiet I questioned where all the kids were! When I worked at Mentor (blah) I remember Bellflower for their amazing elementary school musical. It was awesome. Many of the kids I had called it the "hippy school" due to its set-up among other things! Emerson is really excited and so are we... although I wouldn't mind putting it off for another year... or two.
