MICDS for Life!
The Whomptons have committed themselves to Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School (MICDS). Not only has Krystal worked there for the past 9 years, but Samantha joined the staff this year as well. We religiously trek there on fall Sundays to play flag football, and we hang out socially with many of Krystal and Samantha's co-workers. And, courtesy of the athletic office and Samantha's access to the Lost and Found, we all proudly sport MICDS apparel on a consistent basis. Raina hardly ever takes off her MICDS hoodie!
Needless to say, we like the place and we rejected our local (within walking distance) elementary school to apply for Junior Kindergarten for Raina. The application was fine and standard; the interview process was somewhat creepy; waiting to see if she got in was easy. Raina is a great kid -- of course the school would want her!
She officially was accepted yesterday, and she'll join Samantha and I at MICDS in August. Each of us is thrilled for her, and she is beyond excited about making Mommy's school and Sammy's school her school too.
MICDS included a copy of the Lower School Honor Code which says, essentially, that the student will be nice to everyone and try hard. Raina took it very seriously and understood that she had to be a good person and good student at the school. And she signed her Honor Code contract (in her absolutely adorable and very large manner) to make it official. Very cute.
If you'd like to learn more about the school, check out the website at www.micds.org. We apologize in advance to the grandparents ... you now will be on another Annual Fund donation list. It's the independent school way, sorry!
