Kids give new Willard K-8 school a thumbs up
WARREN — It was a little like getting your first ride in a brand new car: Everything was clean, working properly, flawless.
For about 1,000 kids from kindergarten through eighth grade in southeastern Warren, the first day at the Willard K-8 building on Willard Avenue today was an eye-opening, even jaw-dropping experience.
“I was very shocked. When I saw the gym, I just opened my mouth really wide,” said Cameren Seawood, a fourth-grader.
“When I came in here, it was just amazing,” he added as he stood inside the media center, or library.
“From the outside, it looked just like a big home,” said Tren’Neisha Meely, also a fourth-grader. “When I saw inside, it was real cool.”
Ivan Mach, another fourth-grader, said he was the most impressed by the lunchroom and improved selection of breakfast choices.
