Send Us Your Back-to-School Pictures

Today is the last day of summer break for the majority of students who attend Manhattan Beach Unified School District and American Martyrs.

It's time for new beginnings and we here at Manhattan Beach Patch are asking for you to help out by sending in your back-to-school photos for us to publish.

Just take pictures of your students getting into the car, on their bike, or walking with friends and adults to school. Catch them waving goodbye, smiling, crying and so on and add them to the gallery or e-mail them to liz.spear@patch.com. Make sure to let us know who is in the photo.

Also, we're open to other back-to-school photo ideas and videos, too. If you're a teacher who is already back at school waiting for students, send us a photo of your classroom before and after the next batch of students arrive. If you're a parent and have a back-to-school photo from your school days, send it over.

We got things started with a back-to-school photo from our friends at , where students are already back hitting the books. To add a photo or video, just click on the "add a photo or video" tag underneath the photo on this screen.
