No day like the first day

IRIS SMOOT/Acorn Newspapers LISTEN UP—Walnut Canyon Elementary School Principal Linda Bowe, in her second year at the school after spending 15 at Campus Canyon, speaks with parents of new students during kindergarten orientation last Monday, the first day of school in the Moorpark Unified School District. School started later than usual this year because employees agreed to take four unpaid furlough days before the first day of classes to help save the district money.
