Tabula Rasa

I had to rush to get the last of the posters on the wall before the 2 PM start of our annual open house, but the room looked pretty presentable when the new sixth graders and their families started to arrive. The next two hours passed in a blur of shy smiles, handshakes, and slightly awkward conversations.

Of 110 kids, I only have 2 siblings of former students, and after 27 years, that's unusual enough to make me scratch my chin. Maybe it's because we have had three teams instead of two for seven years now? Perhaps the boundary changes made an impact?

Hard to say, but whatever the cause? I'd call this year a pretty clean slate.
