Photo memories of the first day of school

It is a tradition of sorts that flows from one house to another, generation to generation – the first day of school photos.

Whether it is PreK or 12th grade, parents and grandparents alike insist on getting those shots from the front door of the home, the open car door view, or the desk at school with the teacher. Many a student has protested and many a parent has insisted. We can all agree –  those photos are priceless.

And we want to see yours.

Give us details. Tell us how your day went. Here are some of our favorites

Sarah Spalding posted this photo. Sarah said, “The first day went great! This is Willow (11th grade), Toby (8th grade), and Dorian (5th grade) with the best bus driver Mr. Ron Jones!”

This picture has an extra special onlooker wishing Ethan a great day. Notice the cat eagerly cheering him on. Ethan is riding the bus for the first time this year and had a wonderful first day at school.

When Greyson Kempey was asked if he was ready for his first day of school, this was the pose he made. Looks like he has it all together for Fairview Elementary First Grade.
