Back in School...finally!

Yes, we made it back into school today! After being closed for five school days--and a total of eleven days when you factor in weekends, a Professional Day (that we had to cancel) and Presidents' Day--we were in session. We opened an hour late, but we were open. Everyone seemed happy, upbeat and energetic. Everyone was "ready" to come back. Yes, one or two snow days can be rejuvenating, but a week and half is too long, even for the students. It took many employees and parents over an hour to get to campus, primarily because of the condition of City streets, many of which were reduced from two lanes to one lane in each direction. Also, there was a utility problem on York Road, which added to the congestion. We are hoping for a smoother morning commute for the rest of the week! This is a certainly a week to take your time and focus on safety and caution on the roads. That goes for all my readers, too--please drive safely!
