While we may have a few organizational tweaks for next year, the New Family Orientation and Supply Drop Off Night was a big success. PTA volunteers were on hand to help families get supplies in the right place. It was nice to a chance to get them to the classrooms before the first day of school.
We started the first day of school with music and a little looser atmosphere outside, getting rid of first-day jitters and having a little fun. Thanks, Mr. Waryk, for providing the tunes!
Special guest Joe Morris (retired NASA scientist) and our very own Library Assistant Peggy Morris provided fun, informative lessons for our students about eclipse safety, science and lore. Students enjoyed demonstrating what happens in an eclipse and "watching" the eclipse live on the special reflective setup. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Morris!
Our kindergarten students completed screening and proudly entered the halls of Horace Mann on Thursday for a short, two-day week. They are catching on fast to the "Horace Mann Way," making friends and getting right to work!
