The pencils are sharpened. The kids are back in school. And we’re wistful for the days of lunch pails and backpacks. So, we’ve unearthed our old school photos. Yes, those awkward shots of our elementary-school and tween years — the bangs you cut yourself, the braces you can’t smile with, the fashions you’ve long since forgotten. Here are four adorable and brave Algonquinites from back in the day — with more to come. Share your school photos with us on Facebook  and Twitter, too. No peer pressure. Come on… everyone’s doing it….
