Adams School kicked off the
new school year Wednesday with the first open house in District 27.
Parents and students toured their classrooms, met their teacher and
visited with friends. The casual event allowed pre-K and
kindergarten students to get acquainted with new surroundings before
entering the classroom on the first day of school. District 27 will
begin the new school year on Friday with early dismissal
at 10:30 a.m. The first full day will be Aug. 22, with schools
in the district dismissing at 2:30 p.m. the week of Aug. 22-26.

Taylor Bone while sitting on the "Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar" rug.
Taylor's mother, Kirsten, came along to see the room, too. There are
40 students registered for pre-K at Adams -- 20 each in the morning
and afternoon class.

Dominic Robbins viewed the pre-K room with
binoculars, and he checked out the neat stuff on the shelves with
his dad, Peter Becks, while his mother, Debra Robbins, looked around
the classroom. |

Mrs. Gandenberger's kindergarten room was a
fascinating place to be on Wednesday night. Connor Brummell brought
his book bag and looked for his cubby with the help of his parents, Jeff
and Sue Brummell.
