This is for Aunt Gretchen...

since she is currently a teacher for K12 in Nevada. We are excited to announce that Mitchell will be switching to K12 here in Utah! Too bad Aunt Gretchen can't be his teacher, but we are very excited about this school! It's an online charter school (for those that aren't Aunt Gretchen!) and although he does his work from home, it's not homeschool! He will have a teacher and field trips and take the standardized testing, etc. But it will allow him to move at his own pace, work in a quiet environment (Mitchell doesn't do well with distractions) and hopefully allow us to get on top of some of his health issues. We are meeting with the doctor this week, but it seems like everything he eats makes him very sick. He is losing weight, looks pale and is constant pain. My guess is Celiac, but we will wait to have it officially confirmed or not and go from there. But, he has missed a lot of school or gone while feeling miserable which wasn't good for anyone! I'm so excited that he has this option to help him out!

Oh, and Aunt Gretchen, we would love any pointers or tips! LOL!

He'll love it! (For the sake of keeping my job, I work for a different online charter school, but that's okay.) I think it is an AMAZING opportunity. You just let me know how I can help!! (My school's not in Utah yet, but when it is, maybe I can get my hands on him.) I'm sorry to hear he's been suffering, but I think this will be a great match for him. Good luck with everything. Call or email if you need some pointers. :)
