The first week of school has come and gone.  It was a really busy week for everyone.  We had many new students register for school this week and our attendance is up to 639.  I don’t think we’ve ever had so many students.  I know this is going to be an exciting and wonderful school year.

In the library, we began orientation on Tuesday.  Most classes in grades 1 -5 came last week to learn about our library program.  The remaining classes will come this week on Monday or Wednesday.  Students will begin checking books out on Thursday.

On Tuesday, we have a special guest coming to our school.  Author David Sargent Jr. will be coming to Wacona to talk to our students about his books and how he writes them.  His books teach a character lesson and the main characters are his dogs.  He is bringing his dogs to Wacona.  I cannot wait to hear what he has to say.
