Soon I\u2019ll have another wonderful picture of us together on our special day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Free Home Elementary<\/span> is a very old school, one of the oldest in <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Cherokee County, Georgia<\/span>, the first one room school house opened during the civil war era.  Free Home Elementary is a <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Georgia School of Excellence<\/span>, and currently has 272 students enrolled, Pre-K to 5th grade.<\/p>\n<p>We had lunch together in the cafeteria, though Nathan brings his lunch, not eating the cafeteria food, we had a wonderful lunch sharing great pinwheel sandwiches, juice, and chips. One entire wall in the cafeteria has a great painting, not the first school building, but the school built on the property in 1919. So much history\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xJueEQ0Cy9Y\/SMg7e92YPBI\/AAAAAAAAAbU\/iXlbZST60pA\/s1600-h\/Picture+114.jpg\"><img style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xJueEQ0Cy9Y\/SMg7e92YPBI\/AAAAAAAAAbU\/iXlbZST60pA\/s200\/Picture+114.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Nathan\u2019s classroom is a modular unit, I guess I don\u2019t dare call it a trailer, and his classroom  has a state of the art teaching system with a electronic touch screen that almost covers the entire wall. This Friday Nathan will begin learning algebra, boy have things changed since I was in school. I didn\u2019t learn algebra until the 9th grade.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t wait until next year at Free Home Elementary to have my picture taken again with my grandson and see what improvements the school has made. Next year will be Nathan\u2019s last year in elementary school, and probably the last of the Grandparents day at school, I will miss our special day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year I look forward to Grandparents Day at my grandson Nathan\u2019s elementary school, this year was no exception, this was my fifth year attending.
