School starts the 19th here.
But she has been at school most every week over the summer, except the week of the 4th and this week and next, for dance team technique classes. Two hours every Tuesday. They will have just a technique workout that following week, then starting the 1st week of Sept, they are practicing everyday after school. She is super excited to get this really started.
She got all the classes that she wanted. She had signed up for a photography class, which on the election sheet it did show that there was a fee for it. She almost had to drop it, as they are charging $110.00 for one semester to take this class. I personally think that is crazy nuts!! I figured it would be $100.00 for the whole year, with just one semester being half that. I told her, that with everything else she does, dance team and competitive dancing at the studio, I just don't have that kind of money for a one semester class. She talked to my brother, he is big time into photography and he took this same class when he went to our high school, and he told her that if she really wanted to take the class, that he would pay for it. She could come over and provide some child labor to earn the money. She jumped all over that deal. His idea of child labor is baking brownies or cupcakes while they hang out and watch movies, so it's not like she has to actually wash the windows or dust to make the money.
We had to do a bit of school cloth shopping. With her being on dance team, she needed a few more dressier outfits for school as well as some nicer dresses for dt functions. As a group, they dress up on Fridays and if it's a competition weekend, they really dress up.
