It’s the last day of school at Rochester Memorial School, Friday, June 19, and the teachers and staff gathered at their usual spot behind RMS to send the students off to summer vacation to the rhythm of tom toms, trumpets, and tambourines. Arms flailed from open bus windows and children shouted their goodbyes to their teachers shaking maracas and other implements of mass percussion under the direction of Danni Kleiman as the busses looped around and around the rear parking lot before heading off one last time toward summer break.
