Indiana kids may have been dragging their feet this morning for school after a long weekend, but Michigan kids were getting up after a long summer vacation.
Today was the first day of school and Ballard Elementary assistant principal Joel Racht says teachers and students were all smiles.
"It was very nice to see all the smiles on the kid's faces, it seemed like the kids were excited to come to school and the teachers were ready with open arms, ready to welcome the students. It was nice to see all the kids again."
Racht says the day ran smooth for the 700 students at his elementary school.
