Our first day of school was off to a great start. Our first bus officially arrived at 7:45AM due to the fact a lot of students did not ride the bus on the first day of school. The bus driver indicated that he tried to drive it as slow as he could to arrive at 8:00AM but there were too many minutes.
As students arrived at school it was notable that they were happy to see each other. Students quickly fell in to their old habit of walking the hallway and sitting in the lunchroom for breakfast.
As tradition has it, many elementary parents bring their children to school the first day. In some cases their were tears and in some cases it was have a good day 'see you"!
After the first bell students reported to their classrooms for attendance with elementary getting to know their new teacher and the junior high and high school reported to the gym to review the handbook and answer any question that they may have. Following the assembly elementary, junior high, and senior high students met in the gym for a fun activity let by Mrs. Kersten.
As usual it is not uncommon for students to make changes to their schedules that kept the principal and counselor very busy throughout the day.
Remainder of the day ran as normal.
The first day was off to a great start!
