Principals: First Day Of School Was Smooth Sailing

August 23, 2011

The first day of school went smoothly with very few problems, according to area principals.

“It was absolutely one of the smoothest first days we’ve ever had,” Ernest Ward Middle School Principal Nancy Perry said. In previous years, Ernest Ward has had difficulties with lunches and timely transposition on the first day of  school, but Perry said Monday had very minor delays.

“Our buses were only about 10 minutes off schedule leaving; that’s unheard of for the first day,” Perry said.

Over at Bratt Elementary, Principal Jeanine Hall said there were a few first day tears from students and parents. She said the day was successful overall, other than a few problems with a new arrangement for student drop-off and pick-up. (Those problems have been addressed and the “car rider” line will return to its old arrangement. Read more…)

“The day went really well for both students and parents,” Hall said. “The children were very well behaved.”

    A happy group of kids. I remember A.C. Moore, the time Ms. Peavey let Danny and me make the milk run. We rolled the radio flyer milk wagon, speeding out of the cafeteria, what a mess. Our license were suspended indefinetly. Ms Peavey was a saint, God rest her soul.
