I got the following email this morning from Science Teacher at Older Boy's school.

We're looking for a "Can-Do" hard worker to help us manage the football team this year. We asked Older Boy to help out with equipment and daily attendance records. I've attached out calender for you to see if this works out for you and Older Boy. Let me know, we sure look forward to working with him.

It broke my heart when I first received it, because I want him to be able to do this stuff. I talked with Foster Care Specialist and we decided to let him do this so he can experience more "normal kid" stuff than he has been able to in the past.

Of course he has to meet the same grade and behavior requirements as the players. Science Teacher has been an amazing mentor to him.

Praises for "normal" opportunities for Older Boy and for a teacher who is willing to take him under his wing.
