ALABASTER – The pitter-patter of small feet echoed throughout the hallways as teachers led groups of silent, well-behaved kids through Meadow View Elementary School during a successful first day of school on Aug. 8.
As part of a tradition that has been going on for 12 years, the Alabaster City Schools Board of Education visited every school on the first day with its first stop being MVES—a school that did not disappoint with its shiny floors that complemented the bright smiles of students engaging in fun activities.
“I really believe this is going to be our best year yet,” Principal Michelle Brakefield said. “In speaking with my teachers, they all feel the same way. There’s a sense of a different type of excitement this year buzzing around.”
ACS Superintendent Dr. Wayne Vickers found that the school day was off to a great start with all of the necessary systems in place to ensure the day went off without a hitch.
“It’s been a great start of the school day,” Vickers said. “All of the buses and everything are running perfectly. I appreciate the cooperation of our city and our community. It’s been a great day, and it’s going to be our best year yet.”
