Parents, students converge on school open houses
W 073012 STILSON OPEN HOUSE 01
Stilson Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Rebekah Bentley, right, tells Hector Hernandez, 10,that she'll see him again on the first day of school Wednesday after a visit during Monday's open house.
The first day of school isn’t until Wednesday, but thousands of parents and children went to schools throughout Bulloch County on Monday. What drew them were open houses, which allow teachers and administrators to meet parents and tell them what they can expect in the new school year. Open houses also give parents the chance to see the classrooms in which their children will spend the better part of the next nine months.
