Accepted!

Yesterday was a big day on Clover as Elizabeth was accepted as a boarding student for a two week writing program at Choate Rosemary Hall this summer.  Choate is one of the top five boarding schools in the country and has a very robust summer program.  Elizabeth did some research into this program and approached us about applying.  She met with two teachers and her principal to secure letters of recommendation, completed the application and submitted a personal statement.  And then we waited.  The acceptance letter she received says, in part: “We appreciate your family’s interest in our program, applaud Elizabeth’s achievement and potential, and look forward to welcoming you on campus as a boarding student….”  I wish that I could have been at home when she saw the letter, but Lee tells me that she was beyond excited.

We have a few years to go before high school decisions begin to loom, but something tells me that this experience is going to make her yearn for bigger and better things.  #andsobeginstheprepschooljourney
