Thanks to a former coworker, today we had the chance to visit Cedar Ridge High School, the newest high school in Round Rock ISD. We have watched them build the school from the very beginning, and Peter has been asking forever to go inside. Well, today he got his chance. He was SOOOO excited to finally be going inside. Here was our conversation as we pulled into the parking lot --
Peter: The new high school!!
Mommy: Yes. Would you like to go inside?
Peter: I can go inside today? Is Ms. McLinden here?
Mommy: Yes, and she said we can go inside.
Peter: (excited) OK!!
So we walk in, and Peter acts like he owns the place. Karen took us on a mini-tour of the campus - I think it would take forever to actually see everything! Peter LOVED running down all of the hallways. It's so new that they are still installing things. He loves "workers", so he was so excited to see some of the workers still working on the building.
We got to see where the food will be served. Peter's favorite part was yelling down into the trashcans and listening to the echo. It was so funny!
The campus also offers culinary classes. I thought this was very neat because it will give interested students a taste of culinary arts in high school to see if they would like to pursue that career path. Peter loved looking in the ovens and opening and shutting the doors. 
We saw many classrooms, walked by the campus coffee shop, met the campus police officer, saw one of the gyms through a window (Peter was disappointed he couldn't go in and even tried to find a "worker" to open the door for him), climbed stairs, and ran down many hallways. I think in a word, I would call the school "amazing". It really is a neat building, and I know that the students are going to love it!

It's an outside area that is entire contained, so students can eat out there, visit between classes, or even have class outside. Peter found some stairs that led to a little wall, and he said that he was on the stage. 
Thanks to Karen for letting us visit. Peter had the best time exploring the school he might attend one day!!! Hope you guys have a great school year!
