Well, great news!
For those of you worried about how you could possible have your first day outfit back in the rotation before picture day on Sept 9...the date has been changed!
Now you have more time to either research different reactions to other outfits before committing to one for posterity, or you can space it out a bit more as the new picture day is September 16!
Phew...now, I can consider some of my autumnal outfits, as well, since it will be much closer to the next season :?)
Both First Days have been seemingly successful. Students arrived...no search parties were needed to locate lost students or teachers...and students went home. I did not see any actual tears from students or staff, but that doesn't mean there weren't a few quiet sniffles here and there.
There was a lot of laughter! On multiple occasions, we heard laughter in classrooms, throughout the halls, and I even witnessed it in the auditorium when we shared the video we created to make sure we gave all three grades the same expectations. At the risk of listening to more laughter throughout town, feel free to check out our version of Car Karaoke ; I think we successfully modeled for the students our willingness to risk failure and try something new to make them smile. We talked about the importance of believing in themselves and knowing that they all have something to contribute that makes us such a great school.
This is a short week with only one more day before a nice long weekend...just to get our feet wet.
Next week, we will try for four days in order to build up our endurance for full weeks later in the month.
Sincerely,
Chris
