Wonderful idea!
My dad was in the Air Force, and we moved a LOT. Every year from 2nd grade too 11th grade I heard the teacher say "class this is Glen, the new boy" and everyone turned to look at me.
In second grade, I was shy and had zero friends. I still remember mom and dad driving me to the third grade school and showing me where it was and how to get there. On my bike the next day, my first day at that school I made a decision, shy is stupid. So at the first recess I screwed up all my courage, and walked up to a a group of 5 boys and said hello, I am the new kid. From that day forward, I learned to make friends. Well, except in 9th grade in Waipahu Hawaii. I was 50% of the
Haole population at that school. Every Friday was kill Haole day and even the girls took part.I had no friends and the entire school of tormentors.
To this day my wife is amazed how I can be in a group of strangers and strike up a conversation with almost anyone.
