More updates!

Things have been progressing quite slowly for all of us here, due to the elementary side being kept very busy with Elton's tragic death. The counselors there are obviously (and rightfully) occupied with that issue instead, so the permission forms coming back has taken a far greater time as it normally would.

I met my Bonsai Buddy for the first time last week, though! His name is Michael Anders. He's about eight or nine years old, and seems quite withdrawn.

We have a meeting this week to discuss having a "party" with our Bonsai Buddies during P block or lunchtime as some kind of mass icebreaker. I'll keep you updated.
