PHOTOS: First Day at Glenville School Features Warm Staff Welcome and Snappy the Gator

Glenville School principal Klara Monaco, assistant principal Cara Vitolo, and school mascot “Snappy the Gator” led a large team of staff to great students on the first day of school on Friday morning.

Staff lined the drop off loop, sidewalks, entryway, and hallways to guide students to their classrooms.

The PTA organized had a morning coffee for parents and a bit later, kindergartners had their own special welcome at 10:00.
