WE’RE BACK. 💚🦔
There aren’t many first-day photos in our camera roll this year.
The past six weeks have been a whirlwind. Since the fire on July 1st, our school has been filled with contractors, remediation crews, engineers, inspectors, electricians, HVAC teams, cleaning crews… and a whole lot of people determined to get The Harris School ready for our students.
There have been permits, repairs, soot testing, ceilings removed and replaced, classrooms packed up and put back together, plenty of unexpected hurdles, and more late nights than we can count.
Through all of it, our staff kept showing up. They rebuilt classrooms, moved furniture, unpacked boxes, cleaned, organized, problem-solved and did whatever was needed to make sure that when our students walked through the doors, their school still felt like their school.
So when Thursday finally arrived, we were a little too busy welcoming our kids back, settling into classrooms and doing what we love to remember to take the perfect first-day photos.
And honestly, that feels pretty fitting.
Because after everything this summer brought, the most important thing wasn’t capturing the moment.
It was getting here.
Our students are back. Our teachers are back. Our classrooms are full again.
We’re home. And we couldn’t be more grateful. 💚
