Day 3.252: Culture-shock
This evening we skipped church to attend the PTA picnic at the girls' school. It was a well-organised and grand event. The scale of it was fairly bewildering after social events at their previous school - this being a school of 350 K-5th grade instead of (maybe) 120 K-8th.
The highlights were bumping into another family making the same school shift as us, meeting Exile #3's 'recess friend' (and her mom) and winning a $25 gift card for the local supermarket in the raffle (for a $10 outlay). It's already spent as Exile #2 went grocery shopping this evening. Bargain!
