Outside one Butler Area School District elementary school on Tuesday, Aug. 26, students ran and played in the front lawn before the start of class.

The scene at Emily Brittain Elementary School featured some students who couldn’t wait to get through the doors and others who attempted to claw their way from their parent’s grasp to escape back to the car.

When the doors opened and the children filed inside, the parents left outside could be seen on their tip toes looking into the crowd for their child entering the building.
