Day two of school continued the review of expectations and routines for the school year, including the playground! Teachers were outside with their classes, modeling and teaching each activity available to students at recess.




Congratulations to our crossing guard & custodian, Laurie Asher, who (along with her rabbit Oreo) was featured in today's Portland Press Herald! Thank you to Laurie for keeping our students safe and making the trip to school so much fun for them!
