Hello! I would like to take a moment to welcome back all of our returning students and families and to welcome our five incoming students and their families (most of whom are not new to The Elmore School). As I write this I am listening to the steady rain falling outside, yet again! I hope that you were all able to find some fun in and around all the rain this summer and that you were spared from the the floods that affected so many Vermonters earlier this summer.
It is hard to believe that we will be back in the classroom in just a little over a week! Next week. I will be participating in District wide In-service and setting up our classroom to get ready for the students to embark on another school year. Just a few reminders before next week!
