Summer vacation is nearly over for most area students.

In preparation of the new school year, school zone lights in Salina were activated last week. Salina USD 305 teachers returned to the classroom on Thursday. The annual Saline County Back to School Fair, where nearly 2,000 backpacks full of school supplies were distributed, was Friday.
