Wednesday, Sept. 7 marked the first day of the 2011-12 school year in Washington Township, and there were plenty of smiling faces and happy parents throughout town.

Patch photographer Christy Ward checked around town to see who was gearing up for the big day. If you have photos you'd like to submit, feel free to upload them yourselves, or email jason.koestenblatt@patch.com.
