Summer always comes to an end and a new school year always begins, but this year, something is very different. Much of the state has been shut down since March, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

And as students across the state head off to the next grade, it’s hard to know who is who, when their beautiful little faces are covered up by masks, in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Masks or no masks, we want to see your back-to-school pictures!

Send them to pics@digital-release.wgno.com and your pictures will be featured in this album, and they may even make it to air!
