Schools back in session: Teachers get first-day nerves, too

Lyman Hall Elementary teacher Roxie Miller shows Galilea Gurrola, 7, where her seat will be when school begins today during an open house Thursday for parents and students.
At Fair Street School’s temporary location at Wood’s Mill this morning in Gainesville, kindergarten teachers Brenda Beal and Janice Trowers will be teaching classroom procedures, while over at Lyman Hall Elementary, second-grade teacher Roxie Miller will be taking roll call. Today is the first day of school for both Hall County and Gainesville City school systems, and while most students will never know, it’s the first day of a new job for some of their teachers. Beal, Trowers and Miller were all nervous as they waited to meet their first-ever classes at open house events last week, but their nervousness was mostly due to making sure the students would adjust to the new classroom environment.
