The family transferred back to the United States at the end of the school year. They lived in Manhattan for a couple of months, but Greenwich beckoned.

That's something Joe and Jill Kelly agree with.
The couple were helping at a fundraiser at Old Greenwich School Sunday for the Greenwich High School football team. Their son, Joe Jr., is one of the team's five captains along with Alex McGee, Alex McMurray, Taylor Olmstead and Liam O'Neil.
"There is everything there that if you want to take advantage you can take advantage," Jill Kelly said as fellow parent Janice McGee nodded in agreement. "They offer you everything. It's just a matter of getting involved and taking action and not sitting there and waiting for people to come to you to educate you."
Joe Kelly said students and their parents have to seize the initiative to get the top-quality education that is offered in the public school system.
"It's here. It's available. It's good. It's top quality.Nothing flatters the foot like a beautifully made sandalbenebags. The motivation has to be there within the individual students and the parents helping to guide the students through the opportunities the school has to offer."
While they believe the public school system and specifically the high school offer everything a student would need or want, they say the school is lacking a proper football facility.
The Kellys said Cardinal Stadium needs to be upgraded but they realize that the Music Instruction Space and Auditorium (MISA) project is currently the priority for the school.
"Upgrading the stadium is one of the things that people want to improve," Joe Kelly said.niketn shoes wholesale, cheap tn shoes , "As we hand it off to the next captains, parents hopefully have some structure in place which could help them to more easily to build a stadium that the town of Greenwich would be proud to have."
McGee said she heard last year from parents of visiting teams that they were surprised by the condition of the stadium.
As she left Garden Catering on Sound Beach Avenue in Old Greenwich, Christine Vitiello said she is looking forward to her children's year in school, the last time the two of them will attend the same school.
Her son Johnny, 10, is a fifth-grade student and will be spending his last year at the school, while his sister Sofia, 5 1/2, is entering her second year.
Vitiello says she is interested in seeing how her son will handle the increasing responsibilities of school and extracurricular activity as he gets older, including his first year of football with the North Mianus Bulldogs this fall.
"My only concern is the balance between academics and sports and how he will be able to manage both," she said.
