Welcome to the first day of school in the East Rockaway and Lynbrook school district
The first day of school generates many emotions, for administrators, students and teachers in the East Rockway and Lynbrook school districts it appeared the overarching sentiment was happiness.
Whether it was a pre-school get together at the Centre Avenue and Rhame Avenue elementary schools to decorate the walkways with colorful chalk messages wishing the students good luck or junior/senior high school students putting away their cell phones to focus on activities, the first day of school in the East Rockaway school district was full of smiles on Sept. 3.
Smiles and excitement took center stage as the newest class of students at Lynbrook Kindergarten Center stepped off the buses for the first day of school on Sept. 5.
With their parents by their side, the kindergartners arrived well-prepared with all the materials needed for the school year.
The young students lined up to meet their new teachers and peers, and took part in icebreaking activities aimed to help ease any first-day jitters, as well as offer a way to make new friends.
After the children settled into their classrooms, parents gathered in the gymnasium where Principal Ellen Postman and Superintendent Paul Lynch shared important information and tips for the school year ahead.
