Thunder!

The administration had an open house on the Wednesday before school to show off the new Jr High. Centennial Jr High (named Centennial because Davis School District has been around for 100 years). This place is amazing! First, every student has a netbook which will take the place of most textbooks and papers. Everything is high tech. TV's everywhere, open area commons that are surrounded by classrooms, even breakout conference rooms. Amazing lunch area which can double as their auditorium. Great gym facilities. And just the fact that it is new, makes Jr High seem a little better!
We walked every inch of this school! I also had helped earlier that day with the PTA lunch for the teachers and got to meet a few of the instructors. I'm really excited!
Amanda loved her first day. She knows 4 or 5 people in every class. She can get her locker opened and it's decorated so cute.
We are excited that our kids get to be a part of this new jr. high. The old jr high was very, very old. People's grandparents went there and it hadn't changed. The air conditioning and heating were bad and it was small.
This new school is spacious and beautiful! Go Centennial Thunder!
