On Wednesday, the 2011 LAUSD single track school year began and by now, most Mar Vista parents have packed lunch boxes and loaded their youngsters onto school buses, or driven or walked them to school.
Patch wants to see your best "First Day" photos. Saying goodbye to your child on the first day of a long school year can be a somber experience, but it's also a shared one.
We'd love to get some photos taken from Wednesday's first day of school, but we don't mind photos culled from your old scrapbooks and photobuckets either.
We'll publish all the pictures here, with your photo credit, to create a community scrap book for Mar Vista's "First Day" of school.
Simply upload your photos to this page or email them to kelly.hartog@patch.com.
Wishing all Mar Vista kids a great first day of the new 2011-2012 school year.
