It's Back!

Back to school that is - here's a video and lots of photos
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Remember your first day of school as a first grader?

That experience was felt again this morning in the Ada Schools. First graders all the way to seniors said goodbye to summer and hello to the 2017-18 school year.

The Icon roamed the school halls and captured some of the pre-8:15 a.m. moments.

You'll see photos of students waiting in the cafeteria, waiting outside, meeting their teacher and finding their classroom.

Make certain you watch the video as the school doors open for the first time.
