Send Patch Your "First Day of School" Photos

BROOKLINE, MA – The first day of school is Thursday, and Patch wants to commemorate the big day with its own photo gallery.

Brookline Patch is kicking it off with the picture above, showing Patch reporter Alex posing for his class picture sometime in the early aughts, when you weren't cool unless your shirt said "Abercrombie."

Send your kids' first-day-of-school pictures to alex.newman@patch.com for a chance to be featured in the Patch photo gallery. Please include their first name, grade, and age with your submission.
