I love Matthews school for many reasons. Its walking distance from the house, the classroom is small. He has violin lessons, art lessons, spanish lessons and bible. The school is wholesome and seems old fashioned. One thing the school still has is the bell. Not an automated beep. But a real, pull the string. bell. And I hear it walking back from dropping off Matt. Its so wonderful.
So a big treat is when your class is on "ding dong duty". You have to sign up, show up early, and help pull the rope as a team. Adorable. 
Thank you GCS.... and thank you neighbors who tolerate the sound daily.
