EES Students Return to School for a New Year

EASTFORD — And just like that, summer is over. Eastford Elementary School welcomed its students back to class on Wednesday, Aug. 27, providing plenty of opportunities for parents to snap some pictures of their kids as they embarked on another year of learning. With this in mind, The Communicator asked its readers to submit their best “back to school” photos of their kids, and you did not disappoint! From all of us at the Communicator, we wish all students a fantastic year back at school!

She may be heading off to class, but she still stopped to ‘petal’ around with the hydrangeas on her first day. With her Crocs in full charm mode and a backpack big enough to ‘leaf’ nothing behind, she’s ready to grow, learn, and blossom all year long.”
