New third-grade teacher Madeline Ketcheside (center) stands with her former third-grade teacher Sandi Sater and former kindergarten teacher Jan Colby (right) in Ketcheside’s classroom at Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary the day before the start of school. It’s the same classroom where Ketcheside sat as a third-grader.

And speaking of flashbacks, Colby is holding a picture of the new teacher as she looked when she was a kindergartener at Blakey in Colby’s class.
