Stoklosa School is open in spirit

Despite the fact that the Stoklosa School did NOT open on time, it seems that opening day went well for the former Bartlett School students who are being bused to two different schools while waiting for the construction job to be finished. A lot of the credit has to go the superintendent and school committee for coming up with a workable contingency plan and for the staff of the Stoklosa (formerly at the Bartlett School) for making the best of the situation. Acting principal Bob Murphy is meeting the challenge with his energy and good will. His inspiring quote in yesterday's Lowell Sun, "two campuses, one school and a quality education for all," gave me a good feeling about the future of the Stoklosa School, building or no building.
