School has started and Kaeli Sweet, freshman at Oakdale High, enjoys getting up early and the fact that there are different students in each class. She enjoys the new responsibilities of high school. Vincent Peterson, fifth grader at Knights Ferry, likes his new teacher Mrs. Headrick. James Peterson, third grader at Knights Ferry, likes playing with all his friends.

On the subject of school, at the last Knights Ferry Board meeting the new Superintendent/Principal Dr. Janet Skulina told of the faculty reviewing Science programs. She also noted that the school bell would be rung every morning (YEA!). The school started with 89 students as of last Thursday. August 26th will be Back to School night. Dr. Skulina was asked to be the speaker at the September Community Club meeting. She is looking forward to meeting the community.
