Flat Kick Balls and Bent Hula Hoops

Starting a new school is challenging. But to putclassrooms and an office in the back rooms of abuilding, share public toilets, and be content witha gravel-filled playground was a learning experiencefor both the staff and students of a new Charter schoolin the Las Vegas desert. Things got even worse whenone of the classrooms was reclaimed by the landlordand the office had to relocate to part of the singlewideportable building. The phones wouldnt work, thekeys were wrong, the lunchroom was reclaimed, thekick balls went flat and the hula hoops were bent outof shape.The new campus had mice, and incomplete kitchen,not enough storage, a weird security system, morephone problems and orange pictures. Through it all,the students took everything in stride.
