PINE LEVEL, Ala. — Teachers weren’t the only ones excited to welcome students back in Pine Level this weekend — the town’s beloved mascot, Daisy the duck, also joined in the celebration.

Daisy waddled around and quacked enthusiastically as she greeted children and families at Pine Level’s back-to-school bash. The event featured free school supplies, food trucks, bouncy houses, and a camp stew sale.

To help beat the heat, attendees also enjoyed games and attractions like a dunk tank.

Pine Level students are set to return to school on Aug. 7.
