The Staff Returns to MWS!

This morning marked the beginning of a new journey in MWS history - the start of the 2008-2009 school year has officially begun, for staff. Following our district kickoff, the entire MWS staff met back at school for a wonderful lunch provided by the MWS PTO. As chopsticks flew through the air and food from David Fong's was devoured, people commented on how great it was to have lunch together, to reunite and share adventures from the summer, and many words of thanks were spoken by staff about our gracious PTO. On behalf of the entire MWS staff I would like to thank the Marion W. Savage Parent-Teacher Organization for providing such an event for us. We truly appreciate it!

As you know from your individual letters, our annual MWS Open House will be this Thursday, August 28th from 3:00-4:00pm. This event will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to meet your student's teacher, to reconnect with families and friends, and to meet the new faces at MWS. I want you to know that I will be stationed in the Lunchroom during this time, and I encourage you all to stop by, introduce yourselves, and introduce your student(s). I have a special surprise for each and every one of you! You will have to come to find out what it is!

Marion W. Savage is looking absolutely fantastic. While we are still undergoing some construction to our roof on the East side of our building, the interior is in tip-top shape. I'd like to thank Norm, Dale, Nick, and Dave for putting so much energy into creating such a wonderful environment for our learning community. You will be amazed when you see your reflection in the floors you walk on!

As your summer draws to a close I want you to know that we, the MWS staff, are excited for your students to arrive, and we anticipate a year filled with wonderful memories for all MWS families. I look forward to meeting all of you soon!
