The 45th school year is upon us. We welcomed new students, new classroom sinks surrounded by new wall and floor tiles, and three new staff members, Angelarose, Hattie and Helen!  The children, all at different stages in their development, are helping each other, learning from each other and generally getting along very well. September has been busy; we had our first family meet-up (a well-attended playground social) and we celebrated Peace Day, singing Light a Candle for Peace on the playground while monarch butterflies danced in our butterfly bush!
