Honey Boo Boo is back to school in metro Atlanta.

Alana Thompson, her mom "Mama June" Shannon and sister Lauryn AKA Pumpkin, moved from McIntyre in Middle Georgia to the metro Atlanta area a while back and are now living in Hampton.

After a busy summer that included a trip to Panama City Beach - where Mama June posed for a sizzling photo shoot in a red bathing suit - the ladies are back and ready for the new school year. They're entering the fifth and ninth grades in the Henry County school system.

The ladies have all their monogrammed school gear ready to go!

The matriarch of the Honey Boo Boo clan recently announced that she and her most famous daughter were slimming down with the help of a trainer and some healthy new food choices. 

Honey Boo Boo's sister Jessica is starting nursing school soon and her sister Anna is expecting another baby, another girl!

"Ugh they are growing up too fast but they all know I will always be there for them, be their biggest cheerleader & I love y'all," Mama June posted. "Best luck to everyone else starting school in this morning too."
