My daughter was a kindergarten teacher at Howard R Driggs. She said that it was amazing to her how the cliques had already been established when the kids started school and that she had to spend a lot of time on being inclusive and being nice.
Unfortunately at this point all of my son's friends are going to Oly, so it would be a hard transition. The good news for him is he is kind of oblivious to that stuff and just a generally liked kid who doesn't offend or get offended. He's just like his mother, so he'll probably do just fine. I do think I may encourage Highland for my daughters though.
