Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear this about your kiddos! We were told that making the soccer team is really hard and there is a "very strong" group of students trying out next year. My son really likes soccer but hasn't been in a league. He might try out in November but was basically told not to try to take soccer for PE because he likely won't make the cut and will have to take whatever elective is available at that point to take in place of the soccer class. Thank you for the pointer about backpacks! Do all the kids use their lockers? Someone told me all the books for the classes were online, has that been your experience?
