Orientation days

I have started several posts, and I just can't finish. My brain is scrambled. Today I met my students in a five minute rotation of classes. I probably can't tell you any names, but I'm excited to work with them this year. Tomorrow the whole school will come for orientation. It's one of my favorite days in the entire year. The ruckus in the gym is a celebration of what it means to go to a school full of girls. For the freshmen, it's the time when they realize that this is a special place. For the others, it's an embracing of the new students into the sisterhood. For all of us, it's a transition from summer to another year, and I, for one, can't wait.
