Carlie Chlarson
As she smiles into the breeze, the wind lifts five-year-old Carlie Chlarson's hair after her first day of kindergarten at Julia Randall Elementary. Carlie is one of 2,900 students enrolled in the Payson School District this year.
"My first day of school was fun because I got to learn and make new friends," Carlie said. "And my teacher is very, very, nice."
Carlie tells her mom that when she grows up she wants to be a nurse, just like her father.
