Week 1 Wrap-Up

Our first week of school began last Tuesday, when students received their schedules and locker assignments.  For 6th graders, learning to open their locker is always a challenge.  After the first few days they have improved tremendously.  The other area where we ran into some trouble was in getting all of our students through the lunch lines on the first two days of school.  We gave our 6th graders an extended lunch period as a result. By today, the 5th day of school, we seem to have the process down and all students were able to get through the lunch lines with plenty of time to spare.  The week ended with an assembly by Stephen and Other Dummies on Friday morning followed by a pep rally at the end of the day.  Our students helped to get the varsity football team fired up for their opening game of the season by cheering and clapping along with our high school marching band.  It was an exciting way to cap off our first week of school.
