Arcanum News: School starts this week!

0

A new school year brings about many things: a fresh start, endless possibilities – a chance to make new friends and/or reacquaint oneself with old friends, a chance to set new goals, learn new things and most of all be all you can be! Perhaps some will have feelings of nervousness and excitement, not only for the students but the teachers, too. What an opportunity to start off the year on the right foot and reach new heights! I found this quote quite moving when I was thinking about a new school year – author A.A. Milne who penned “Winnie the Pooh” wrote the following, “Remember you’re a fantastic person, and no one can take that away from you! Promise me you’ll always remember you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

New staff at Arcanum-Butler Schools for the 2018-19 school year are: Emily Walters – high school language arts, Olivia Subler – bus driver, Lisa Johnting – preschool aide, Eric Wolfe – elementary physical education, Jacie Holman – middle school math, Angie McMurry – high school science and Macey O’Dell – special education aide. Welcome!

Labor Day is annually held on the first Monday of September. It was originally organized to celebrate various labor associations’ strengths of and contributions to the United States economy. It is largely a day of rest in modern times. Many people mark Labor Day as the end of the summer season and a last chance to make trips or hold outdoor events. Enjoy the holiday!

“Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.” ― Hal Borland

“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.” ― Sylvia Plath
