"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sternberg..."

According to our records, you have recorded 77.5 out of 20 hours required service hours to date. The deadline for hours earned is May 15th, 2006. Many projects and opportunities to make up your hours are available, so we are extending the deadline to May 30th.

I can't help but wonder if the other parents, the ones who treat Montessori as a kind of super daycare, think we're either nuts, or dedicated, or what.
