For many kids, it was a chance to meet friends, show their creativity, and feel more confident walking into class on Wednesday.
"Hopefully it's gonna help take their jitters away having all these fun pictures and great messages, and hopefully they'll just forget it's the first day of school," hoped Victoria Andres, Dunmore PTA.
"I was drawing all of the Toy Story toys from Toy Story because I like Toy Story," said Greysin Vanfleet, Dunmore.
From colorful chalk messages to smiling students, this annual tradition is helping Dunmore students start the school year with excitement and confidence.
