Carroll Fowler greeting
Carroll Fowler Elementary School staff members cheered on students like Zoey Swartz and older brother Eli Swartz as they made their way onto campus for the beginning day of the 2021-22 school year on Aug. 11. The “red carpet” tradition had to be skipped last year because of the pandemic. - photo by Jeff Benziger
