Summer has officially kicked off for 36,530 West Ada students. Kids at Paramount Elementary School ended the year with a picnic on the field with family and classmates.

“I’m very excited the school year is over, but I’m sad because a lot of my friends are going to different middle schools in Meridian,” said Kiera Birch, a fifth-grader at Paramount. “The summer is a time to get away from stress, waking up early and doing all the homework.”

The West Ada district’s 2015-16 school year starts on Aug. 24.
