The first day of school was full of color at Daybreak Elementary as students arrived to a big balloon arch.  Administrators and staff lined the sidewalk cheering them on as they made their way to the playground.

The school mascot, Bubbles, was on hand to make sure all students were feeling the excitement of the first day. Parents were thrilled to get pictures with the beloved mascot too!

Teachers greeted students at the playground, where balloons again marked where everyone was supposed to line up. Teachers wore their colorful shirts with the school’s theme reminding everyone to Color Daybreak with Kindness!

Way to go Daybreak Elementary School! Have a fun, kind and successful school year.
