School buses were out on the streets of Lyme and Old Lyme yesterday once again picking up their precious cargo of students traveling to Lyme-Old Lyme (LOL) Schools. Emotions ran the gamut from quiet tears shed by parents through the gentle trepidation of students starting at LOL Schools for the first time all the way to leaps of joy by students as they reconnected with friends and teachers who they hadn’t seen since June.
Looking back on a successful start to the 2019-20 school year, Lyme-Old Lyme Schools Superintendent Ian Neviaser commented, “We had a great first day. Our students and staff arrived smiling and happy to return on what was a beautiful day of weather and a great day to start to the school year.”
