Off they go! Eastford students head back to school

EASTFORD — The summer season is now nothing but a memory. Eastford Elementary School welcomed students back to class on Thursday, Aug. 27, which gave parents plenty of photo opportunities. With this in mind, The Communicator asked its readers to submit their best “back to school” photos of their kids, and as usual — they did not disappoint! All of us at The Communicator wish all EES students a great school year! Courtesy photos
