Most of the schools in the New Hyde Park area opened this week to repainted classrooms and shiny floors as students flocked into their respective buildings and classrooms.
For the most part there were smiles on every student’s face as they faced the excitement and anticipation of a new year, perhaps new friends and maybe new teachers.
New Hyde Park/Garden City Park students went back on Tuesday, Sept. 8 and the Herricks students went back on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
