Social Media Highlights from the First Day of the 2022-23 School Year
The first day of school is always one of the most exciting days of the year! It signals new beginnings for students, staff, and families, and also makes for some excellent photo opportunities.
Ahead of Tuesday, September 6, we asked the community to use the #firstdayHWDSB hashtag and tag us in their back-to-school photos on social media. We loved seeing all the shots of smiling faces over the course of the school day! Thank you to everyone who shared their special moments with us.
Here are some #firstdayHWDSB social media highlights:
