Yesterday, Megan and I got automated calls from the principal of the elementary school Ezra will be attending this year (Go Rose Hill Rams!) with an invitation to their Back to School Night and instructions on how to do iPad pickup next week before school starts.
As we were listening to the message, a question popped up for us: Is school starting next week instead of the week after? The answer, YES!
It appears as though in between the beginning of the summer when we checked the calendar and the point when we realized that we weren't on the Omaha Public Schools (OPS) email list, OPS decided to change the schedule and move everything up a week during the first semester and extend winter break a week, seemingly to limit potential COVID exposure during normal flu season.
Meg took Ezra to do some back to school shopping after dinner while Thaliea and I made chocolate chip waffles with Jonah hanging out in his jumperoo. Apparently, Ezra was pretty stoked about shopping and picked up a sweet backpack-water bottle-lunch box combo (Spiderman in the house!).
Next week I'll give you the run down of Ezra's first day of school: how it went, who cried, etc., but first, I wanted to invite you to a back to school event that InterVarsity is hosting with a number of other minstry groups from around the country.
EVERY CAMPUS BACK TO SCHOOL is going to be pretty great. Christian artists from multiple genres will be performing. We'll have words from professional athletes. There's even a WashU professor who will be making an appearance (Go Bears!). Once we're done with Ezra's Back to School Night, you'd better believe that we'll be tuning in for the show.
We hope you'll be able to join us tonight @ 8pm Central. Whether you're a college student yourself, a parent of college students, or someone who just believes that college is a place where God can and has done some amazing things, my hope is that tonight is an encouragement.
Have an excellent day!
