First-grader Finley White comes back for one final hug from his dad, Chris, before heading into Washington Elementary School and his first day of first grade Wednesday. His dad said Finley was excited to be back and not bothered by the idea of wearing a mask, but he and his siblings are always nervous when school starts. Most K- 2 students across Carlton County started school Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
