There’s a first time for everything, and this school year is packed with firsts.

The traditional meet your elementary teacher day is now a virtual event. Tim Closson, elementary principal, told The Icon, “Our teachers may not be able to meet you until school starts, but they still want you to meet them.”

So, The Icon copied the videos from the school website, and now the entire community can share in the event. Teachers are listed below with a link to a short video.

Nolan (INCEPTION, THE DARK KNIGHT) is known for his ability to turn seemingly-complex plots into high-caliber entertainment. In anticipation of his newest film, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit my favorite film of his: MEMENTO.
