Two Lafayette Elementary students’ photos happened to be among the first we received today (thanks to those who’ve answered our request for “kids starting school” pix if you didn’t mind sharing – it’s so much nicer to “meet” individual people, instead of us just heading out and getting a wide shot of school buses pulling up somewhere) – First, that’s Brynn, whose proud mommy Brandi explains was “preparing for her big day in Mrs. Bell’s kindergarten class at Lafayette. The atmosphere was perfect for the first morning at school – sun, laughter and new friends to be made.” Also attending Lafayette for the first time ever today was 4th grader Zack – stepson of longtime WSB Forums contributor Hopey:
