The countdown is over - Minster students are back in the halls! K-12 students got a head start on the school year during Back-to-School Night Tuesday at Minster Local Schools, finding their way around, meeting teachers and, of course, posing for some memorable photos. The first day of school is Thursday for all Minster students. New Bremen, St. Marys and Parkway schools start today.
