Marauder Moments
Curiosity. Courage. Compassion.
The First Days of School, 9/12/21
Our first week back to school has been full of energy, community building, and settling into routines. While we are still wearing masks, I think students are thankful for the opportunity to move about in the hallways, pick up lunch in the cafeteria, and have classes with different groups of students throughout the day! All of these are norms we used to take for granted and now see as a gift, however, we need the cooperation of students and help from families in wearing masks appropriately. We have to take this mitigation factor very seriously and require that students where 2-layer masks, over their noses while inside.
We understand this is hard and are committed to getting outside as much as possible. We had AMAZING weather last week for our middle and high school barbecues up at Garvey - we were able to celebrate our return to school with good food provided by the Abbey Group, lawn games (I think teachers beat the high school students at kickball...just sayin'), and sunshine!
The rest of this newsletter contains important dates, information about our upcoming open house, and a reminder about traffic flow near the auditorium. Of course, please reach out if you have questions, concerns, or shout outs!
