Students Meet Their Teachers at Flynn Park

It was family day at on Thursday as parents and students toured the school and mingled ahead of next's week school start.

Students got a chance to meet their teacher and see their classroom.

Sandra, a fourth-grader at Flynn Park is excited for school to start, saying she can't wait to see her friends again.

Laurence, who will be going into the fourth-grade didn't hesitate when asked what he was looking forward to the most. "Math, science and social studies," he enthusiastically rattled off. He's excited that his teacher will be Mr. Corno. This year Laurence will be joined at Flynn Park by his younger brother who is entering kindergarten.

Liam, a third-grader said he was looking forward to math. He's excited to have Mr. Fernandez as his teacher.

"It's just a very exciting time," said Flynn Park Elementary Principal DeAun Blumberg. "Our building has been transformed, not just physically, but we have new students coming from Delmar-Harvard, we have new teachers in the building."

Flynn Park has all new kindergarten classrooms. Also, the school built an addition which now houses a new cafeteria. That freed up space for a multi-purpose room.

"That's (mutli-purpose room) going to be really nice because if we have bad weather it means that we have a place to take kids so they can actually run around," said Blumberg.
