First Day of School at Lower Campus

New families and returning families gathered this morning at Lower Campus for the first day of the 2007-2008 school year. There were new people to meet and it was great to see old friends. It seemed the teachers were as excited as the students. A general air of expectancy filled the yard.

While we visited we snacked on bagels, fruit and banana bread teamed with great coffee. Many thanks go to Shari, Bridget and all who organized, cleaned up and brought food to share.

Ms. Sarah signaled for quiet as the new year officially began. Take note parents, the signal in the photograph actually works! She welcomed everyone and we were led in singing the "Welcome Song" by Ms. Kathy. In closing, Ms. Sarah introduced the Lower Campus staff including two new additions pictured below.

Ms. Julianne comes to Archway as a recent graduate of UC Berkeley. She will be teaching all Lower Campus Physical Education classes and will also be working in the After School Program. Welcome, Ms. Julianne.

Mr. Scott joined Archway last year when he took over some of Dr. Irene’s Math classes at Upper Campus. This year he has moved to the Lower Campus to assume his duties as the 4th grade teacher. Welcome, Mr. Scott.
