It is hard to believe it is time to go back already. I remember not having to start until September, but that was a long time ago, no I will not tell you how long. The kids are getting ready, and so we decided to paint backpacks. It has been a great summer with lots of new experiences for all of us. I can't say it has been easy. I am learning that I am not a saint with unlimited patience. I am not the easy-going laid back hostess with the mostest.
I have learned most about boundaries and the importance of parents. I have heard teachers and leaders talk over and over about how they need the families to be involved, and there is nothing more apparent to me than this truth now. I have decided that I will close the garage early this year. I will be done for the summer and open up again at Easter. It is crazy to think the summer is over. What a depressing thought. But the good news is that I plan on starting to tutor those who really are committed and want to learn. The Art Garage will become "The Thrush Avenue Scholars" for the school year. These kids have a lot to offer, and I for one, don't want to see them fall through the cracks.
