It’s that time of year again in the Washington DC area. The time when school children, to the relief of many parents, abandon their summer break schedule and get back into a learning environment. Hundreds of thousands of students in the area are reporting to their first day of school, meaning new friends, new teachers, and new knowledge.

One of those schools happen to be a brand new one named for the current president. Barack Obama Elementary School, which is a Prince George’s County Public School, opened it’s doors for the very first time to students this morning. Many parents in the Prince George’s County Public School district are worried about the upcoming school year, because budget cuts have left supplies limited and classroom sizes larger. The average class will have two more students than it did last year. Everyone is suffering from the current budget issues many larger cities in America are facing, leaving many school districts without the ability to hire new teachers which would provide more individual learning time for students.

Overall though, things got off to a good start on this first day of the school year
