To the rumble of bus engines and the clanging of locker doors, Cleveland students from preschoolers to high school seniors signed off on their summer this week with the beginning of a new school year.
There were a few anxious smiles and some saline tracks too Thursday morning as the 42 students from the class of 2038 made their way to the kindergarten rooms and 58 preschoolers joined the ranks. Secondary classes began the Tuesday before, the last first day of high school for the 41 members of the class of 2026.
