Students Meet New Friends The beginning of school can be an exciting and sometimes scary time for students as they are starting fresh in a new classroom with a new teacher and new people. McRae Elementary School teacher Lonna Dunavan offered a “Get to Know You” activity on the first day of school, so her students could learn more about their classmates and feel comfortable with their new surroundings.
