Local kids made waves Aug. 16 for their final summer beach day before starting school.
Though there were clouds in the sky, nothing was going to rain the final beach day parade for Ormond Beach students.
Before starting school Aug. 18, students enjoyed their local beach Aug. 16 despite some rain. And even though they enjoyed their summer vacations, Ormond Beach kids are ready to go back to school.
“I’m starting high school this year at Seabreeze,” 14-year-old Ben Steel said. “The biggest change is going to be the amount of people and the work load.”
Jordan Estep, 9, is ready to start his fourth grade year at Champion Elementary because he’s excited to see his friends. Emma Steel, 11, is also excited to meet up with her pals at St. Barnabas Episcopal School in Deland.
“I’m excited to see my friends again.”
