at 5:47 pm
Monday was a landmark day in Seattle Public Schools as many elementary students, as well as some older students with disabilities, returned to school buildings for the first time in more than a year.
At 7:45 a.m., Theo Strange waited with his mother Katy outside Rising Star Elementary in Beacon Hill to see the inside of his kindergarten classroom for the very first time.
Theo said he felt âkind of excited and kind of nervous.â He said he was most eager about the first recess of his academic career and the prospect of playing with some toys at choice time.
