Classrooms and hallways throughout the North Merrick School District were once again populated by students, signaling a new year of learning on Sept. 3.

Teachers at Camp Avenue, Harold D. Fayette, and Old Mill Road elementary schools greeted students at the start of the day as friends were reunited and assigned desks were found. Classes participated in ice breaking activities, such as kindergartners who practiced spelling their first and last names. Students who were new to their buildings took a tour and discovered their school’s library, gymnasium and art room. In their classrooms, students made their first steps in organizing for the new year by labeling folders and placing all their needed writing utensils in pencil cases. The successful first day was a sign of more fun to come as the year progresses.
