Goodbye, summer 2009!
Clockwise from far left, Scott Genest on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic; magician Chris Hurlbert entertains on the last day of Durham Summer Rec, sand artists at the Lake Beseck picnic, dancing at the Levi Coe end-ofsummer celebration, Joey McWaters and Emma Axelrod play “Sorry” at the DMYFS summer program, and Seamus Doyle makes a cool pool catch at the CVEF picnic.

Hello, school year 2009-2010!
Above, Iain Silver is one of the many very-soon-to-be kindergarteners taking the school bus for the first time.

You can see on Iain’s face how excited he is about the bus, or school, or both!
