Well, I am pleased to report that I didn't uproot my family from Daniel Island and move to Charleston County (Isle of Palms) for nothing! The move was so exciting on one hand: we could see the beach from our back porch, have a shorter drive to Sundrops Montessori, be closer to Uncle B and Aunt CC, and MOST IMPORTANTLY put our names in the lottery for the FREE Charter Montessori school in Charleston County. However, the idea of moving again after only one short year in Charleston was a bit overwhelming - not to mention the fact that we were moving farther away from our Daniel Island friends and neighbors whom we had grown to love dearly!
Well, there were 170 children enrolled in the lottery for 1st grade, and 11 were picked (by a fireman out of a hat)...Bowen was one of eleven. So, this news is so huge for our family. We get to benefit from the Montessori schooling that we have grown to love and support and believe in, and we don't have to pay for it! All siblings get first preference, now that Bowen is in. So, once each child reaches first grade...No more private school tuition. Of course, Michael has an excel spreadsheet to share with anyone interested in knowing how much dinero this seemingly small event will save us over the next 12 years (that's when Mina finally reaches 8th grade!).
So, if anyone is interested in playing the lottery, betting at the tracks, or going to Vegas, please give us a call. Bowen is willing to share some of his good luck with y'all!
