Back in action
PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON, JOSHUA CURRY AND LEA BOYD Aug. 23 was a big day for Carpinteria kids and parents. After two months of R&R, students filed back down the hallways of Carpinteria Unified School District campuses for another year of mind sharpening and social-emotional maturation. The busy morning found clusters of parents taking first-day photos and giving final hugs as their little ones embark on the next chapter of their academic adventure. CVN photographers made appearances on the local campuses to document the exciting start of the school year.
