Martinez Family Journal

I heard Matty telling us the other day that he might leave Hope Christian someday to go to another middle school. Well, this certainly came out of the blue. He is in first grade. We asked him why he might leave and he said this is because Matthew Heinstein, his best friend might leave Hope someday to go to public school. So Matty mentioned Eisenhower Middle, our neighborhood's designated middle school, and Drew shouted out "No, you cannot do that!" Well, I was quite touched at Drew's apparent outrage. He was disturbed to hear Matty say this. He said that he has heard his friend Sean say how rough the kids are and how rough the language is at the lockers and in the hallways. Wow, to think these boys care for each other despite all their daily bickering and arguing.......how beautiful is that.
