AND WE'RE BACK...
If this summer was a whirlwind, the last week was a tornado. We kicked off the week with our community back to school bash and ended with the first week of school for 2022 – 2023 school year in the books. On Monday and Tuesday our teachers and staff made final preparations for school to start on Wednesday. We had the staff taste test our new school menu for breakfast and lunch at the beginning of the week. Our teachers put the final touches on their classrooms, and the support staff finished last minute projects in the building, everything from cleaning to putting in a new ceiling in the hallway and breakfast café. It was long hours and a lot of work, but it all was worth it on Wednesday morning when we welcomed 85 students to Mighty Oak Academy for the start of our second full year of school. The new students were excited to be there and the returning students were happy to see their friends and marvel at all the changes that had gone on in the building over the summer. Classes walked over to the former Porkland space for lunch every day in their new cafeteria, and by the end of the week, with only 3 days under out belt, students were already saying they didn’t want to go home for the weekend. There will be adjustments over the next few weeks as both students and teachers build relationships and learn how to love and support one another, but it was a beautiful week of community coming together, from the start of the week to the end.
Below are some videos and photos to show you a glimpse of the week in pictures.
