First Day

Day one of the 2011-2012 school year is in the books....and what a day it was! A prayer request - pray for cooler weather. Please.

The students had a day of learning/re-learning the ropes of the classroom. (Ask them about our new folder/binder procedure!) We enjoyed the day but I can tell the students are ready to open the books and start learning. We will get into our scheduled classes tomorrow (Thursday). Look for those assignment notebooks in the backpacks, sign, and put back in the bags. The secret word for today is: Banana.

Have a great evening!

Miss Lau
