The end of summer and the start of the school year always go hand in hand. What is usually not invited is road work in front of the school. With everyone feeling the effects of Lantana Rd. being reduced to one or two lanes, it was expected for the excitement of a new school year to be calmed a bit; however, Mrs. Dykes’s 1st grade class took it in stride. For a 1st grader the world is still a very big place, so when the road work made its way right in front of the playground, the opportunity to sit back, reflect and take it all in just couldn’t be passed up. The road work is now over, the road looks great and the playground is as fast paced as ever, but for one moment in early September the playground slowed down.
