In a year like this, we have learned to celebrate the small milestones.
Wednesday, Feb. 17, was the day we welcomed kindergartners and first graders into the classroom. Aside from some limited in-person instruction for high needs students, this was the first time we have been able to put kids at their desks, in front of a teacher, learning together.
Older elementary students have been added each week since then, and teachers and students alike have been reinvigorated by the personal interaction.
On Tuesday, March 2 we hosted the first sporting event at Kennison Field, a Bulldogs girls soccer game. Just playing the first home game since Nov. 8, 2019 was a victory in itself, and beating our friendly rival Pendleton Bucks was icing on the cake. Other Bulldogs teams have been practicing and competing as well, and watching student-athletes reconnect with teammates and coaches has been thrilling.
