Summer Reading Success!

Our summer reading program was a huge success!  One in three students surpassed our goal of 600 minutes of summer reading.  Altogether the kids read an average of 988 minutes - more than 16 hours for each child!

As promised, students who turned in - either on line or on paper - a qualified reading log got an extra recess on Friday afternoon.  Many of them played a game of kickball, myself included.  We all had a great time.

Thanks to all those parents who encouraged their children to read this summer.

First Day for New Teachers

It is the first day for new teachers here at the Berlin-Boylston school district.  It is a day when forms are filled, tours are held, and names are learned.  It is so exciting to see so many people at the beginning of their careers!

Getting Ready for Day One

The first day of school is almost here, and we are busy doing last second clean up.  There is so much to do just before the kids get back, and I worry every year that we will not be ready. Yet each year everything works out in the end.
