Mrs. Susan Byrnes’ first graders at Miller Avenue School welcomed family members to their first-grade celebration recently. The students sang songs, performed a short play and shared their writing with their parents.

The spectacular celebration highlighted their reading and math skills and took the families on an exciting tour of their school year with Mrs. Byrnes, in which each student recited a line on their experiences in the class. From field trips, to special events and visitors, and their growth and dreams, they sang out a welcome to their first-grade show. One of the songs “Fifty Nifty United States” even had them memorize every state in the country.

Thanks, Mrs. Byrnes, for a great year in first grade!
