BlueHen, sorry today’s weather wasn’t better for JMU Choices Day but I hope you found it informative and helpful nonetheless. JMU could not have scripted a better day weatherwise last Friday. (I’d be curious to know how many attended today’s Choices; JMU officials were expecting more than 3,000 attendees last Friday.) We had already sent in our deposit for my son before going down there, so we were not among those still trying to decide which school to attend. Going down there for Choices only strengthened my son’s (and his parents!) enthusiasm for going there as part of the Class of 2013. During lunch he said “do I have to go back home with you guys?” The icing on the cake for him was finding out that the Marching Band (of which he will be a member) will be performing at the London New Year’s Day Parade on 1/1/11, with a side trip to Paris. He has to get through 1.5 years of school first, but what a trip that will be! If you want to see how many kids were influenced positively by Choices, go to the Facebook group for James Madison University class of 2013 and see the wall posts. Let us know what your daughter decides!
