The season return of the Otters went swimmingly earlier this week, as students went back for the first day of the new school year at Ordway Elementary School.

By bus, by bike, chauffeured by parents or on foot, students across Bainbridge were roused early from bed and made the trek school-ward Wednesday, Aug. 6 for the first day of classes.

The Review’s Luciano Marano was outside Ordway to capture the big day. His favorite shots are collected here.
