There are so many things we are grateful for at Conner's new school. Tonight is Conner's winter semi-formal at Westside, and we are so excited about how it is all organized. All of the kids at the school are encouraged to attend. They can come with a date if they want, but they are not "pressured" into having a date. They all get dressed up and then have a sit-down, formal dessert at the school along with a talent show where different "contestants" perform who have raised money for a charity. This year the contestants have been raising money so children with cancer can attend a camp. Conner and a group of guys went out for dinner before hand and then went to the party at school. Dancing isn't even a part of the evening - which is so much different than the winter semi-formals we had in high school! Conner would not have had any interest in going to the party if he would have had to ask a date and then had to dance with her! I think it's so neat that he gets to be an environment where he really feels like he can be himself and not feel pressured to ask girls out, etc. He seemed excited about going, so we're hoping that he's having a great time!
