Red Sox Throw Curve Ball into Framingham Fifth Grader's Back-to-School Plan

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.

(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). Upload them at this link!
