It's almost time to go back to school! Which means it's time to enter the Patch Back-to-School photo contest! To enter, upload your favorite first day of school photo to this article. It can be from this year, or 30 years ago! Tell us in the caption what makes it special to you – Patch editors will weigh that when choosing the finalists. The photo with the most comments will win a prize – it could be a $50 gift card or something of equal or greater value.
