A Great Start in the Junior School!

Tuesday, September 5, was Opening Day and the corridors were filled with animated conversations and the welcoming voices of returning students and teachers as they helped new students navigate their first day at KES. After a full-school assembly, Junior School students had an opportunity to meet their advisor, attend classes, and even get a little homework! The energy and positive spirit were contagious. The day ended outside on Menzies Field where students and teachers laughed and cheered as they played get-to-know-you games. We even had a chance to wish happy birthday to Grade 9 students Alexander Slaunwhite ‘27 and Shelby Chisholm ’27. Everyone was active, new friendships were formed, and a sense of community was established. I was particularly impressed by the smooth transition for our new students—well done! It was a terrific first day.
