At last month’s board meeting, Head of School Maria Pilar Paradiso conducted a tour for the school board trustees, so they could experience the wonderful warm and stimulating learning environment that staff created for our students for the start of the new year. Link’s maintenance crew, under the direction of Chief Operating Officer Leslie Baynes, worked very diligently though the summer to ensure that new space for the 5th grade was ready – cleaned, painted and furnished – as well to prepare the rest of the building for the arrival of students in September. Before school opened, teachers spent hours decorating and setting up their classrooms and the hallways to be welcoming and comfortable places for our students…an environment conducive to learning.
