It's that time of year as summer comes to a close and the kids head off to a new school year. Some kids arrived by their own vehicles at Becker High School (below), some by bus at Clearview Elementary (bottom), some were dropped off by parents at Clearview Elementary — Ann Gray hugging a young boy while Principal Sheri Rutar looked on (bottom, left), some walked to Becker High School (bottom middle) and some took their scooters to Becker Middle School (bottom, right). Teachers, staff, police and bus drivers (right) worked hard to make the first couple days of returning to school an easy transition for all involved. (Photos by Bill Morgan and Penny Leuthard).
