Indian Lake Elementary School counselor Jill Onyema hugs second-grader Avaya Emrick as she returns to school Wednesday with her peers to begin the 2022-23 school year. Students posed for pictures during drop off. And there were many hugs and warm greetings as students reconnected with staff members they missed over the summer. As is tradition, seniors served up pancakes in the Indian Lake High School student parking lot. (Indian Lake Schools Photo)
