I had one success today that I'm proud of.

You might recall me bitching about Saks High School giving out supply lists on the first day of school.  The principal emailed last week and said that he hoped all the students had a great first day back, and if we had any feedback to let him know.

Well, I let him know EXACTLY how I felt about supply lists going out on the first day.  (I kept it professional - no curse words, but it was strongly worded.)  To recap:

•  Everything is picked over and sold out (Shadow had to do without some things last week)

•  Up late on a school night shopping because I work

•  Missed tax-free weekend (for a single parent, that was SUPER not cool)

Much to my surprise he wrote me back and said that those were all good points, he was surprised he hadn't heard from more parents on that, and that they would give out lists at orientation next year.

I WON!  😃

I wrote him back and thanked him and also apologized if I came on strong.  I've been met with so much opposition on every little thing at the lower schools that I was expecting to be ignored or dismissed, honestly.  So that made my day!  😃
