One of the many things I love about working in the land of little people is that we see so many of their "aha" moments. Just from yesterday, our first full day, to today, we could see learning happening. Most of that took the form of routines and safety lessons, all under the guidance of The Willow Way... Be Safe, Be Caring, Be Ready. Ask your child about it over the weekend? Hopefully he/she can give you some examples for each!
We also had our first school celebration- a dance party on Willow Hill. The entire K-2 students body joined Mrs. Mastela and Mrs. Klyn as they led everyone in exercises and dance. Wow- some of our wildcats really have the moves! We were even joined by Homewood Police Chief Denise McGrath and Deputy Chief Kelly Strayer, who helped our teachers on top of the hill. Everyone had a great time, despite the heat!
Thank you for your patience as we get the buses running smoothly. The routes have more students than in past years, so the trip home each day will take a little longer. Once the students and drivers get better acclimated, the timing should get better. Please review with your child the importance of sitting on his/her bottom, staying in the seat, keeping his/her mask on, and not getting up while the bus is moving.
Next week is a full week for everyone! Thanks for all you do at home to insure your child is ready to learn!
