LYME/OLD LYME–This past Tuesday, Aug. 27, was filled with hugs and smiles—and a few nervous steps and glances—as the first day of a new school year in Lyme-Old Lyme Schools unfolded.

More smiles outside Lyme Consolidated School as friends reconnected.

Asked how the day had gone, Lyme-Old Lyme Schools Superintendent Ian Neviaser told LymeLine exclusively in a text message, “We were happy to welcome our students back to school for what looks to be another exciting year in the Lyme-Old Lyme Schools.”

Teachers at Mile Creek School were all smiles too as they waited for their new students.

He added cheerfully, “We have lots of new faces, and many familiar ones, and look forward to everything this school year will bring.”
