First Day of School–Luke and Matt

Luke – 3rd Grader – so happy to be the oldest sibling in Elementary School so he can ‘take care of Matt’.  Excited for Sports Club, Cross Country and a great year with Mrs. Gradisar.

Matthew – 2nd Grader – describes himself as ‘fast, smart and cool’ and of course doesn’t think he needs to be taken care of.  He’s going to have a great year with Mr. Beck.  So cool to have a male teacher. 

Megan had already left for her first day of Middle School (only 6th graders go on the first day) but Emily and Katie walked down to school with me while the boys rode their bikes. All the kids meet out on the blacktop and look for their teacher’s signs and then line up.  Then they have a little program with a flag ceremony and the principal speaking.  I think we’re up to 622 students now in Chinook Trail’s 10th year open.  (Started it’s first year with 75).  This is our fourth ‘First Day of School’ at Chinook.  So great.  So fun to have traditions and feel a part of a really great community and school.  Exciting to start another year!
