FOR MOST STUDENTS, SUMMER BEGAN ON FRIDAY

Friday was the day students all over the city had been waiting for - the last day at Virginia Beach public schools.

Children and teachers both got silly in their celebrations and there was a lot of hugging and waving. Have a great summer kids, and remember - school starts again in about 11 weeks. ILLUSTRATION: Photos by L. TODD SPENCER
