The first day of school in second grade was a resounding success judging by the smiles of the children as they opened their schultuten while they sat with thier parents in the school cafeteria. Parents and children also enjoyed an assortment of cookies, donuts, and juice as they spent time together before Mom and Dad headed off to work or back home. There was one special treat, however, which was reserved stritctly for the second graders. It was an enormous chocolate chip cookie decorated with flowers and the words "Wilkommen in der Zweiten Klasse" ("Welcome to Second Grade"). After all the children had a chance to view the oversized cookie, Mrs. Dengel with the help of Mrs. Dettwiller, cut the cookie into squares for all the children to sample and enjoy before returning to the classroom to begin a new school year.
