What Have We Been Up To? Let's See....

Goodness, don't give up on us. It's been a while, but this still seems to be a somewhat effective medium to share (right? maybe? hope so?)

It is a rainy Saturday in September. We have been mostly enjoying a dry month and then suddenly two days ago it started raining and hasn't really let up since. 

School is in full swing and we are enjoying the varying states of crazy that a new school year brings. This year we have added "SGA (Student Government Association) Advisor" to our resumes and have quite enjoyed it. 

SGA Planning Meeting at our house

"What new events can we pull off this year?"

Our first big SGA event of the year was a hit and this past week we held Spirit Week so we are pretty much hitting our groove.

Eric has added Curriculum Coordinator to his job title meaning that he's been working hard on school accreditation tasks and reports. Fun stuff. He is also the MAP Test Coordinator, which means that he is in charge of a team of people that run academic testing for the Elementary and Middle School three times a year. 

I have been working on getting a new Student Information System up and running at school. It's called PowerSchool and we seem to be doing okay with it. It has been a trying task to move everyone from the old way of doing things to a new way, but as time passes and the new system becomes slightly more familiar I expect all resistance to dissipate. 

Besides school related activities, we have been balancing Eric's classes (he is working on another degree)and the social calling of our tight knit Kunming community.
