Here at Front Porch Academy, we believe every school should have a mascot. Since deciding on a name for our home based educational institution the kids and i have pondered the question of who or what would make a worthy mascot for our humble establishment. This is not something we have taken lightly. The job of mascot is to generate excitement and enthusiasm while maintaining an image that represents the ideals and beliefs of the school, it's students and faculty. At least, that is the way we see it. In our quest to find the "right one", we have considered the turtle(too slow),the honeybee(too fast) and the rooster(too loud). Even though the search was tiresome and seemingly unproductive, we believed all along that God would provide us with the "perfect" mascot in time. Well, the time must have been just right this past Saturday because we now have our mascot. It is without further ado i introduce you to Fritz! As of Saturday, Fritz is the newest addition to our happy family and since Jeremy shaved Tuesday, Fritz is also the furriest. He is one quarter Silkie, one quarter Westie and half Schnauser-or something like that anyway. In his first week, Fritz has patiently sat through photo ops, overcome his fear of Pete(our yellow Lab) and listened in class-his cage is in our classroom. The only time he makes a peep is when he needs to use the restroom. Because he has shown great patience, perserverance and willingness to learn, we believe Fritz is an excellent choice for Front Porch Academy mascot. What do you think?
