What to wear on the first day of school was a hard choice for one Dunning Elementary boy.
Trey Adrian knew what he wanted to wear the first day of school - a Red Sox shirt. When the Boston Red Sox when they made the largest trade in baseball history this month, it threw a curve ball into Adrian's plans. (The photo sent to Framingham Patch and attached to this report says it all.) The Dunning Elementary fifth grade had a solution. Check out photo #2 for what he wore for the first day of school yesterday. *** Framingham Patch would love to see everyone's first day of school photos from yesterday (and today's kindergarten students).

For those long distant from those days, the "back to school" feeling still can come back to the mind as quickly as the leaves fall from the trees. It only takes a smell, a breeze or the sight of a bus. One of the sharpest memories of heading back to school is certainly the memory of waiting for the bus in your first day of school outfit. After school shopping was done, how long did you debate on what to wear? Was it fashionable enough? What were your friends going to wear? Did you pick it out? Or did your mother choose your outfits?
