In photos: Back-to-School 2021
Written by Stephanie Hacke
There were lots of hugs—and plenty of tears—as youngsters said their goodbyes to mom and dad and headed to school. Monday marked the first day of school in the Mt. Lebanon School District.
We saw you out there, snapping photos of your kids on the sidewalk and saying your goodbyes. On Facebook, we asked you to submit some of those photos to showcase the start of the 2021-22 school year. We received some adorable submissions. So, sit back, scroll and enjoy these first day photos from your Lebo neighbors.
Overheard on the sidewalk outside of Washington Elementary: “I can’t wait to go to school. Do you know why? I get to see my best friend every day!”
