Greetings from the Lake of the Ozarks and the School of the Osage. This is Laura Hayes and you are listening to the Heritage Little Author's Podcast. Last week, we heard from our staff and if you haven’t had a chance to listen. I would encourage you to go back and catch up. As a companion to last week’s episode, I have asked some experts on the first week of school. 3 kindergartners! We all know that if you want an honest account of anything, you really need to ask a Kindergartner. You will hear a lot of tangents, squirming, and playing with the microphone… all of which is spot on when it comes to 5 and 6 year olds. Enjoy.

Greetings from the Lake of the Ozarks and the School of the Osage! My name is Laura Hayes, and you’re listening to the Heritage Little Authors Podcast. Tomorrow marks our very first day of school, and all around the building there’s a special kind of energy—teachers are putting the finishing touches on classrooms, reviewing routines, and making sure every detail is just right.

This year, our podcast will bring you the voices of our students and staff. You’ll hear student-written stories that showcase imagination and creativity, along with reflections from teachers and school leaders.

For this very first episode, I had the chance to ask a few of our staff members some questions. You’ll also get to meet our new superintendent, Dr. Jason Price, who joined me in the Heritage Library to introduce himself to our families and share his thoughts from these first few weeks.

You’ll also hear from some of our wonderful Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade teachers, as well as Mrs. Wedig, our counselor; Mrs. Job, our instructional support coach; and our leadership team—Dr. Sperling and Mrs. Rowden, our principal and assistant principal.
