First day of school at Allen!First day of school at Allen!

On August 14, students and families arrived for the first day of school at Allen Elementary, and at schools throughout District 131.

At Allen, teachers joined principal Jalitza Martinez, along with assistant principals Scott Savage and Christopher Heath, in welcoming students and families. All in all, we counted hundreds of bright smiles, a couple of tears, and a million butterflies. With summer still in the air, another year of memories, fun, and learning begins today!
