What: Stoneleigh Elementary School students and staff are saying goodbye to their current classrooms as they prepare to return to their newly renovated school for the 2013-2014 school year. As school renovations occurred over the past year, Stoneleigh’s classes were held at the old Carver Center in what Principal Christine Warner called a “180 day field trip” for the school. Now, Warner and her colleagues will lead students on a “Wizard of Oz”-themed goodbye tour of the school. Students will click their heels three times while repeating, “There’s no place like home,” then say goodbye to their homerooms while singing Stoneleigh’s version of “We’re Off to See the Wizard”- “We’re Heading Back to Stoneleigh.” The school’s steel drum band will lead the procession.
