Back to School

It’s school time again! Students are probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new classmates, changes grade levels and more. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a short while.
Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about what to expect during the school year. They often go over classroom rules and answer students’ questions.

Right: The beginning of a new school year signifies an opportunity for Adrian PTO to show appreciation for the dedication and commitment to excellence of the Adrian R-III staff by hosting a Back-To-School luncheon. On Monday, August 15, Adrian PTO served sandwiches, potato chips, pasta salads, fruit and delicious desserts to about 100 Adrian R-III staff members.
