Good grief.....time flies!!!! We just got through this process with Peyton, and now it's Jack's turn. Up to this point, Jack has ALWAYS said he wants to go to SLUH for high school. They are not doing true shadow days at this time, due to COVID (everything is "due to COVID")......but they are doing morning tours. SOOOO......Jack and I signed up for one of the morning tours.
We get there at 8:15, so when all of the current high schoolers are rolling in. The first things Jack says as we get out of the car and walk towards the school:
"This place is BIG".......and "I feel small."
HA!!! I said, "Of course you feel small. You are in seventh grade and some of these boys we are walking in with are SENIORS!" I think he felt overwhelmed for a split second. Once we got on our tour, with another 7th grade from St. Gerard, and toured some of the freshman classes, he started feeling not quite as small anymore. We were able to see the entire campus and visit many classrooms......
We got in the car and got halfway down Kingshighway, and Jack says, "shoot! I didn't get to see the baseball field." So back we went, and it was locked, so we really couldn't even get a good view......but we tried! The thing we liked the most about SLUH, "I love that they can get food all day long."......oh boy!!!! Hopefully he liked the academics too. I feel like Peyton said something very similar on her first high school tour as wel.....HA!
We naturally went and had lunch, and then went back to school for the rest of the day.....
