A beautiful morning was the backdrop for the hundreds of students who started school on Thursday, Sept. 7.

A warm welcome to the Class of 2030 was evident at Miller Avenue School where all kindergartners were greeted by Principal Christine Carlson and their teachers; and Wading River School Principal Lou Parrinello was sure that every child was greeted with a smile, a fist pump and the School’s Welcome Ambassadors before taking part in a student-centered ribbon cutting to embrace the newly renovated building. Students at the secondary schools were also welcomed back to school by faculty and staff alike and made a seamless transition from their summer routines.

With a mission of excellence, innovation and educating the whole child, the students of the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District are off to a successful year of learning adventures.
