First Day of School

Finally after the longest break from school of their lives it was the first day of 6th and 3rd grade for Reed and Willa.  There were new grades and the same grins for these two and deep gratitude from all of our family to the teachers, staff, leaders and community of Onondaga Central Schools.  On the first day of school, these two, along with their classmates, returned to Wheeler Elementary after nearly 6 months away.  This little district with the biggest heart made a plan to keep kids safe and smiling. They wore masks and socially distanced but that wasn’t what defined the day or the days since.  They learned, laughed, ate lunch with their friends, had recess outside and library in their classroom.  Yes, it was a little different but the creativity and commitment of the district remained steadfast.  Here’s to a happy and healthy year!
