Starting High School

Ina didn't get much rest for her first few days. The morning after she arrived, Celeste took her to El Toro High School for registration. Mrs. Rashoff was the school counselor that helped Ina. We have known Mrs. Rashoff for a long time because of meetings with our other children and she was very helpful to get Ina signed up for her classes. After a couple of days of school she also helped Ina get into a Biology class together with Bethany.

This picture was taken during the registration meeting and includes Bethany, Ina, and Mrs. Rashoff.


A few days after registration, the first day of school arrived. In California, high school students are allowed to wear beach shoes ("flip flops") on their feet. Of course Bethany had Ina immediately took advantage of this! The picture below was taken in front of our house before they walked to school on the first day. It is only about a 10 minute walk, so it is very easy for them.
Don't they look more ready for the beach than for their first day of school?
