Head O’ Meadow students were led off their buses to the school on Thursday, August 27, for the first day of the 2015-16 school year.

Inside the school teachers and staff waited to greet the students, and near the entrance physical education teachers Steve Dreger and Alex Amaru shared high-fives with students.

Mr Amaru, who is new to the school, welcomed the students with a special, “It’s my first day, too!”

“Welcome back everybody!” Principal Barbara Gasparine said, smiling as students stepped off a bus.

Across the district students arrived for the first day on Thursday.
