With some elated and some hesitant, students return to classrooms in Kitsap districts Jessie Darland, Kitsap Sun
The first day of in-person learning at Esquire Hills Elementary in East Bremerton began with kindergarteners crying as their parents dropped them off for the first time, teachers introducing themselves to students they ve seen online over the last several months, and at least one child that exclaimed, “This is the best day of my life!”
In some ways, Monday was just like any other first day of school.
At Esquire Hills, 36 pre-k, kindergarteners, and first-grade students arrived by bus, car, or on foot to their school on Monday morning. That group was dismissed in the late morning and staff prepared for an afternoon cohort. Students who returned to the classroom on Monday in the Central Kitsap School District will go to school either in the morning or afternoon every day of the week but Wednesdays, when learning will continue remotely.

They might not have known it before the meal began, but they left the dinner about to embark on a journey that would lead them into an exceedingly popular world for athletes and celebrities: big booze.
TUPELO ⢠For the second year, volunteers gathered at Room to Room Furniture to help wrap gifts for the Tupelo Childrenâs Mansion (TCM). Volunteers wrapped around 700 presents that will go to 101 children at the mansion.
TCM is grateful to the community for wrapping their arms around TCM to help make a difference, said Annette Tomlinson, director of sponsor relations at the TCM.
âThere are some people that can give and thereâs others that can wrap, and all together, it makes a Christmas for the children,â Tomlinson said.
Each year, TCM staff prepare for Christmas by reaching out to donors across the nation to provide gifts for their kids by sending a list from each kid of seven of their top gift requests. Most of the gifts this year came online and have been gathered over the last five to six weeks, Tomlinson said.
