I refused to move to California, with their year-round schools, because my girls could not have spent any long breaks with their dad back in Alabama. Shorter trips would not have nurtured that important relationship. In California, there would have been four short trips, costing three times as much plane fare. Thus, we moved to Texas and Oregon where traditional school calendars were still in force. So, you see, we have experienced other school systems.
Auburn schools are so great.
They are always wonderful to come home to. Both of my daughters had jobs this past summer. Everybody in Auburn has some tie to the schools in Auburn. Our town was founded on education and what it offers the community academically, socially, culturally, economically, etc. Everyone has their own story and opinion about how schools here affect their lives.
