Principal Drumm greets sisters Sara and Leena on Thursday, before the start of the first day for preschoolers. Sara, at right, began kindergarten at Langley, while Leena, left, has joined her sister at the school for her first year of preschool.
Some students chose a bear hug greeting, while others picked a fist bump. Some marched into school alone, confident and capable. Others came flanked by nervous parents, who wrung their hands in the hallways long after the first bell. Some of our students faced their first day bravely, despite not knowing a soul. Others finally experienced the long-awaited day when they got to walk into school hand-in-hand with a younger sibling. Some cried, some laughed, some ran and were quickly reminded of the rules.
The start of the school year is a time packed with promise and potential. These moments matter and we memorialize them with photographs that we'll treasure forever. But the moments that matter most for our Tigers begin now; the breakthroughs, the revelations, the exceeded expectations. Conquered fears, field trip thrills, improved gross motor skills. Building friendships, strengthening community, letting our differences be our unity.
