As you all should know by now, Sarah, Mary and I are enrolled in a homeschool co-op called Classical Conversations. Brief background before I completely explain this post. In Classical Conversations, the high school level classes are titled Challenge I, Challenge II, Challenge III, and Challenge IV. They are all high school level, and you get high school credits for completing the courses in each. They are intentionally not divided into grades like school. Anyway, now to the point of this post. (most) High schools have proms every year. Not ours. (and it's a good thing, too). Instead, the four Challenge programs (listed above) have a Spring Protocol event every spring. First, we have an etiquette seminar one week, going over proper etiquette rules for the evening. (approximately one month before the actual deal) The evening (this time, anyway) consisted of going out to a FANCY resteraunt, and then going to the symphony/orchestra. We were required to dress up (obviously)...really, the only reason I am writing this post is because I thought you might want to see pictures of me-I mean US. :)
