With the school year starting up here at Wilsonville, both back to school excitement and nerves are in the air. Students from all grades put on their first day of school outfits and show up to school – for many, this is many hours earlier than their summer wake up time.

Taking first day photos has long been a tradition for students – posing before their front doors with their backpacks and smiling for the camera.

For this year’s seniors, this was their last time taking a first day picture. Some seniors, like myself, have been carrying on this yearly tradition since their very first day of school.

Attached in the photo gallery are photos from seniors’ first days of elementary school.
