                                                          Kristen Prescott, a second-grade teacher at Bonner Elementary School, put in many hours last week to prepare her classroom for the start of another school year, which officially begins next Tuesday, Sept. 4. Prescott says she enjoys interacting with her students. "I like helping them understand things they have struggled with," she said.
