Back in the saddle again

 Ash Grove School District was back in full swing Monday for the first time in more than five months. “It’s great to be back in school and see the students and teachers,” said Ash Grove High School Principal Chris Thompson. “(The first day back) was very smooth. The teachers made great efforts to make that happen.”
