Student, Administrators 'Ring' In New School Year

Student Kayleigh Nix, Long Valley Middle School Principal Mark Ippolito and Superintendent Jeff Mohre officially kick off new year.

The excitement, nerves, new faces and classrooms all signified the start of the school year in Washington Township, but there was one last order of business to take care of.

The ceremonial ringing of the district's bell was also held Monday morning, as student Kayleigh Nix, accompanied by Long Valley Middle School Principal Mark Ippolito and district Superintendent Jeff Mohre, did the honors.

Patch also created a photo gallery of user-submitted pictures from the first day of school. If you have photos you'd like to submit, send them to jason.koestenblatt@patch.com.
