I’m happy to report that our first three days went very well. Wednesday found us in a perpetual state of warmth with us welcoming the return of our students and otherwise due to factors beyond our control. I am proud of the way our students and teachers managed the unusual conditions. On Wednesday, I spoke with all of our students from first through eighth grade in two separate assemblies. I welcomed them back, thanked them for their flexibility on the first day and discussed my expectations for our year together. I spoke of working hard, staying in the struggle and owning our mistakes. On Thursday, we had our first fire drill and I’m happy to report that Captain Farrell and the Bolton FD felt that it went very well. On Friday, Mrs. Angulo, Mr. Cote and I were able to welcome all of our kindergartners now that their classes are whole.
