Electricity is back on at FW!

I would like to inform parents that the electricity is back on at Francis Wyman School. Although we arrived at school this morning to find that the power was still down, we had been informed that the power was to come on within the hour. As it turned out, it took a little longer than that, but it is back on now. The teachers and students did a wonderful job of handling this unusual situation.The classrooms had adequate natural light. The emergency generator was functioning so there was emergency lighting in the hallways, bathrooms, and the auditorium. The lunches went forward with selections that were not effected by the lack of power such as fruit cups, bagels, crustables, etc. Despite the challenges, learning went on! I would like to thank the  parents and teachers alike for their cooperation and patience. The students were wonderful throughout the day. For those who participate in either the Homework Club and Reading Club, the programs will take place this afternoon as planned.
