Lots of behind the scenes work has been getting done- especially on the office management side. The school year has begun, but slowly and invisibly, like the mycelia that establishes itself long before the mushroom pops up. Speaking of which, with all the rain we've had we can expect a great fungi season this fall: boletes, puffballs, bearded tooths, and so on. Look for TAS teachers in the woods and up in the trees.
Parents: make your appointments for a visit and an interview soon. We have had a lot of inquiries over the last two weeks.
I am going on vacation and will turn off my TAS thinking for a week, except for the couple of Kandinsky volumes I am hauling along with me. This is going to be a great school year, with some new programs and a whole batch of new students.
