That title got your attention, didn’t it? Our family, luckily, has to make a choice between two good schools. When Mollie was not accepted into the magnet program via lottery earlier this summer, we made the decision to move to another attendance area to ensure a better high school next year. We have amazingly moved 39 spots on the waiting list since June and it appears (if the online system is correct) that she was selected late Friday afternoon for the magnet program.
The magnet program is the same one Caroline is in, so it would mean that both girls would attend the same high school. I don’t I have to explain how helpful it would be to have both girls at the same school for Mollie’s junior and senior years. The real rub is that Mollie just spent a perfectly lovely first week of school at the new middle school and is reluctant to leave. She was equally reluctant to attend early this summer. So since we have two nice choices, I think we should have flipped a coin to make the decision. The weekend has been high angst and drama. I think we have a decision but some additional recon work needs to be done tomorrow. Stay tuned…
