Kent County Public Schools are back in session this week. In honor of the students, faculty, and staff beginning the new school year, we have a photo from a classroom of a different era. This image, dated 1936 and labeled “Swan Creek,” shows school-age children sitting at desks in neat rows in a high-ceilinged classroom. The image is somewhat blurry and appears to have been taken from a teacher’s desk, the corner of which is visible in the foreground. What are your first day of school memories?
