The morning was “a little emotional” Wednesday for Jamie Eikenberry as she sent her son to first grade and her daughter to fourth grade at Suisun Valley Elementary School.

“It will be the first time he’s been in school all day,” Eikenberry said of her son. “It’s a little harder on me.”

Pictures had been taken at home by the front door before leaving for school.

Eikenberry had taken the day off work. She contemplated picking up some coffee but wasn’t ready to say good-bye as the children made their way to the classrooms.
