WAYNESBORO A teacher often leaves her mark on students, but how often does a school leave its mark on a teacher?
Wenonah Elementary School created a foundation for Abby Boxler Arey, assistant principal of Stuarts Draft Elementary School for two years, as an educator.
This summer, Arey will return to that foundation as principal of Wenonah Elementary.
“I had taught there, and I loved it,” Arey, who was at Stuarts Draft Elementary for eight years, said of her first teaching position, teaching 3rd graders at Wenonah Elementary for seven years starting in 2006.

VERONA Augusta County Public Schools is planning on a back-to-normal school year starting in August.
The School Board approved the 2021-22 calendar Thursday night at its monthly meeting. There are no virtual days at this point scheduled for next academic year and the plan is for students to attend five days a week.
That doesn t mean virtual learning won t be an option.
Tina Kiracofe, Augusta County s assistant superintendent of instruction, said the school division is awaiting further instruction from the Governor s office, which may provide a framework for virtual learning. We are currently looking at whether we want to provide some guidelines about who can participate in virtual learning, Kiracofe said.
