This week I started high school!!! I am going to a newer charter school. It is based on Thomas Jefferson Education. (What our home school is based on.) And it is really cool! The first week is “jump start” week. We were split into different groups and do three work shops each day for the first three days. The work shops tell about the different things about our school that make it unique. In one class we did different outdoor relay races, in the gym we learn the swing for the school dance on Friday, in a classroom, we were each handed a planner the school has bought for us so we can be more organized, ect. It is really awesome. They really encourage you to take charge of your education. Teaching you “how” to think not “what” to think. For the highest grade possible, you have to come up with and complete a project worthy of the grade, by yourself,! There aren’t “senior”, and “freshman” classes. All the students are in the classes according to their level. I’m so excited!!!
(Note by Mom: Whitney tried out and made the school’s audition choir Bel Conte. Thanks for the voice lessons Aunt Emily!)

Wow whitney! I can't believe you are in high school. Im glad you like it. So, if there aren't grades, how do you know when you graduate? Good luck, I am sure you'll graduate by the time your 16.
High School!!!!!!! What great times you will have. It will be fun to follow your experiences through the blog. Love Grandma N
That's a mighty big looking pack. What I don't understand is how all that stuff in the pack is going to fit into your head! Well, I'm sure you will find a way.
