The start of a new school year is regularly filled with nerves and excitement. But for some in Eau Claire County, the school year will begin in an exciting way. It’s not what will happen in the classroom, but on the way there. Addalyn Deck waits for the school bus like thousands of students will in just a few days. “It’s relaxing almost. Sometimes the bus gets just so loud, though,” Addalyn said. “I’m just nervous about what I’m going to learn, how the kids in the class will be, how my teachers will be.”
