Long Valley Rings in New School Year - Share Your Photos!
Sept. 3 was first day for grade school students; high school pupils hit the books Sept. 4.

Another summer gone, another school year started.
What felt like a July day was really the first of the 2014-15 school year in Washington Township, and students came ready and eager to get back to the classroom. (OK, maybe not eager, but surely they were ready... whether they wanted to be or not.)
