School Days Return, Wrapping Up Summer and Remembering Sept. 11

Labor Day is over, and fall is in the air in Westwood, as students hit the books for the 2011-2012 school year starting today (if you've got any photos of your kids heading off to school, !).

As we look at how things will roll out with students and this fall, we'll also be resuming our coverage of sports teams in town.

Meanwhile, we'll be taking a look back at the summer months in Westwood, from our coverage of camps and programs at to last week's .

Perhaps most notably, though, will be our coverage leading up to the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.

Stay tuned this week for photos and stories from residents, officials and recruits of the U.S. Marines, as well as a preview and coverage of at Veteran's Park in Westwood.

If we're missing anything newsworthy in town that you think we should be covering, please let us know in the comments section below or by sending an email to mattp@patch.com.

As always, thanks for reading!
