Pasco County public school students began a new school year on Aug. 14, and some of those students headed to schools that were opening for the first time.
At Bexley Elementary, in Land O’ Lakes, parents and children appeared eager to begin a new year, in a new school.
The message on the school’s marquee was summed up in three words: “Believe. Engage. Succeed.”
Things were running smoothly at Cypress Creek Middle High in Wesley Chapel.
Students streamed across campus for their second-period class. Most appeared to know where they were heading, but for those who were lost, there was plenty of help.
“I can help. If you need help, I can help,” Tico Hernandez, the school’s Graduation Enhancement teacher called out, as students changed classes.
