It was organized chaos at Marshall Middle School when students piled off busses for their first day of school, Aug. 19. Principal Daphne Blanton gave a pep talk to one bus before exiting and patrolling the ramp.

“Another year, another fresh beginning,” Blanton said. “They just don’t know what lies ahead. There’s so many surprises in middle school.”

Once the students were inside the school, they gathered for supervised socialization on the patio and enjoyed a free breakfast.
