It’s the first day back to school for Chartiers Valley students!

We all remember that dreadful day when we throw on our brand new clothes, tie up (or Velcro) our styling new shoes and throw on that backpack that is amazingly light without any books inside.

Then we walk to the bus stop with Mom not far behind. In my case, I trudged out the front door and walked to the neighborhood elementary school in Mt. Lebanon. Then things would settle down a little bit when you'd take a seat at your new desk and meet your new teachers for the year.

So we want you to share your child’s Back To School photos as he or she heads off to the school bus stop waiting to start another year. You can easily upload the photos or videos by clicking on the large “UPLOAD” tab at the top of the story. We’ll feature different photos throughout the day on The Patch.
