Excitement was in the air at Luther C. Klager Elementary School on Monday, August 31. Families were gathered all around to wish their children well as they headed off to the first day of the new school year. Young 5s and Kindergarten families walked their children down to their rooms to show their littles the way for the first day. Meanwhile, the big, brave first and second graders waved goodbye to their families and walked down to their new rooms with their teachers. It is going to be another great year of learning!
