A few weeks ago, Larry talked to Savannah's vice principal's wife at Samuel's T-ball game. She told him that every year, they hire a 6th grader to "tutor" their two boys after school. The truth is, it's more of a babysitting thing, but they tell the boys it's "tutoring" because they think they're too big to need a babysitter! They have the 6th grader get the boys off the bus in the afternoon (at the same campus where Savannah will be) and take them to a particular room in the school to work on their homework til their dad finishes up his day. (usually around an hour's time) Then he takes the 6th grader & his boys home. They pay the 6th grader to watch the boys every 2 weeks. She was curious if Savannah might be interested.
When Savannah heard this, she was tickled pink & immediately went to school & told the vice principal that she would love to do the job. He told her to wait til closer to the end of the year & they'd talk again.
On Friday, she came home all excited & said "I got the job!!!!!!!!!!!". She is over the moon. She's already planning on saving the $$ the first 2 months & buying a Nintendo DS with it. She's been begging for one since before Christmas, so I know she'll stick with that & really do it.
Hard to believe my 10 year old is more job secure for the Fall than I am! LOL!
