Alarm clocks were set early. The weather cooperated beautifully. Children got themselves ready for school while parents snapped photos. Then the yellow buses started to roll and School Year 2015-2016 was underway!
Today was the first day of school for grades 1-12 at Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation. We welcomed back more than 10,600 students to our 15 schools. About 700 kindergartners, members of the future Class of 2028, attended orientation sessions with their parents and families getting prepared for their first day tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 20. And close to 800 seniors, making up the Class of 2016, followed a Gold Day schedule at Penn High School.
We want to see all your “1st Day of School” photos. We asked parents, families and high school students to snap, tag and share their pictures on Facebook and Twitter using #PHMBACK2SCHOOL. Go to our channels or check out our picture gallery on the home page to get a glimpse.
The start of school also means new faces at the front of the classroom as well! Last week, we also welcomed more than 50 new teachers to P-H-M. Click here to see their friendly faces.
Thank you to ALL our students, parents, teachers and staff for all the great pictures. Here’s to a great year!
