The News-Gazette is pleased to present the first installment of our annual “First Day Faces” photo feature.

Every year, we’re asking our Facebook fans to post photos of their children (or grandchildren) on the first day of the school year, and then we randomly select some of those Facebook photos for the paper.

Last week, we asked the parents of Buena Vista school children to post photos after the first day of school last Monday and dozens of parents responded. Some of those photos are printed here; the rest you can enjoy by visiting our Facebook page.

Several of the photos here are of children learning virtually, and you’ll be seeing more photos of virtual learners in the coming weeks as we ask our Facebook fans to post photos of their children in the Lexington and Rockbridge County school systems.

Best of luck to all of our area students in this most unusual of school years.
