FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - Samantha Wilke, a first grader at Willow Ridge Elementary, appears eager to board the bus for the first day of school on Sept. 5, but her younger brother, Danny, needs some encouragement from mom, Sandy. Danny entered kindergarten at the school. Sweet Home, Amherst and Williamsville all started the 2007-08 school year last Wednesday. Photo by Amy Krakowiak Purchase color photos at www.BeeNews.com
