Looking for the Right School

For a while, Alex has said that he wants to go to the middle school that our area feeds into, because all of his friends are going there. Recently, he found out that a certain magnet middle school was offering classes on computers and graphics similar to what his big brother takes in high school. He's been interested ever since. Tonight they held an open house for students and families to find out more about their programs and Alex turned in an application. There are actually two magnet "schools" in the regular middle school building that Alex is interested in. One is filled by lottery, and the other is based on grades/merit. We hope things turn out for the best. It's nice to see him so excited about a school that he doesn't go to yet.
