Monday Essentials: Teachers Return to School

A look at five things to know to get Monday and the week started from Hamilton-Wenham Patch.

It is Monday, Aug. 26. Here are five things you need to know in Hamilton and Wenham: 

1. Clouds: After a spectacular weekend of weather, the workweek begins with some cloudy skies and increasing humidity. The forecast calls for a chance of showers on Monday with the possibility of a thunderstorm later in the day.  The temperature will be in the upper 70s.

2. Backpacks: Monday is the final collection day for the Community Giving Tree Backpack Drive at Hamilton-Wenham Library. You can drop off new backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, paper, glue sticks, tape, scissors, markers, crayons and calculators to be distributed in filled backpacks to Essex County school children in need during the first week of school.

4. Teachers: The school year starts Monday for teachers in the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District, who all officially return to work. Students in grade six and nine start school on Tuesday and the rest of students return on Wednesday.
