Greyson Evans readies for 1st Grade at Wasuma (Amy Evans)
Laces were tied, backpacks were zipped, lunches were packed and perhaps even some tears were shed as mountain area residents got kids ready to return to school today, Monday, Aug. 17.
Many noted on social media that it was a cruel coincidence Starbucks in Oakhurst is closed this week for a remodel. Undaunted, the community united and carried on despite the setback.
Thanks to all the amazing teachers, administration, volunteers, classifieds, parents and kids who make it happen and here’s to a spectacular 2015-16 school season. Please send us your pictures and we’ll add them to this album.
