We had a great first week of school. As we do every year, Mrs. McNelis and I met with all the grades to talk about rules and expectations. It is something I really enjoy. The students get to show us all that they know about ROAR behaviors, and what it means to be Respectful, Organized, Achieving, and Responsible. Some of the insights the students have are really amazing. We have now done this together 18 times (3 years and 6 grades a year) but each time the students make it a little different.
Another first week highlight was the Wednesday visit of County Executive Ken Ulman and Superintendent of Schools Sydney Cousin. They toured the building with us and interacted with many students. Their visit included a stop in Mrs. Thompson’s room where the county executive read a book to the students. It was great to show off our building and the wonderful learning environment we have.
