First day of school, summer school

Ah, the first day of school! Summer school that is.

Nothing like a long three-day weekend to get the kids excited about going back to school. But they wouldn't be taking summer school if they didn't have to.

The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District opened the summer session Monday at Sierra Vista Middle School. Hey, at least the summer session is only from 8 a.m. to noon.
