I wish it was earlier in the year because I have to get all my summer fun started, but it actually works out ok. This is a crazy week that concludes with a trip to Six Flags for our grads. Last year we did the banquet like they always have done but I decided that wasn't an accurate expression of the celebration so we are kicking it up a notch. Next week is the start of the Summer movie nights and then we have a block party followed by a vacation at the worst possible time but my mother-in-law is a teacher so its the only time for her .... yeah the list just keeps growing but its all good. I'll relax between rounds of super mega frigintastic ultimate Frisbee in heaven.<br /><br />Helen,<br />I never thought of that. That is kinda sad. Of course I found out about our class reunion about one week after it was over. Oh well I didn't have time to make it. I can't believe I graduated over 10 years ago.<br /><br />Greg,<br />Yep that is the kinda fund stuff I had heard of from other rural districts. I know of a place that still runs a one room school house and they don't have graduations every year because there aren't always graduates.<br /><br />Candy,<br />Wow one person comments on my hang time. If it makes you feel better my wife was the one running the winch and she was less scared with me going up that than she was the gigantor ladder.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-40673345733417748732009-05-27T20:00:20.793-07:002009-05-27T20:00:20.793-07:00He should just tweet his speech and be done.

When I was in De Land, IL, there was only one grad at the public school, and they shared a district with a neighboring town. There were seven the year before, and three the year after, so it went up and down.<br /><br />Ah!

I worked at a church with a preschool and elementary. I think the last week was filled with K-3 graduation, K-4 graduation, K-5 graduation, and of course, 6th grade graduation - not to mention being the driver for every end of the year field trip. That's what everyone needs while trying to pack up all of his belongings to move 1000 miles away. I'm well rested now, though, and I can finally appreciate that insane week.Jeff Selphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127894356503326650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-58005711817859948052009-05-27T08:10:34.021-07:002009-05-27T08:10:34.021-07:00I've heard of that but admitedly it is a small Chr...I've heard of that but admitedly it is a small Christian school. A few years ago they were up to 4-5 grads and that was in the hay day of the school. The entire "high school" has 7 students. I'm of the opinion that we nix the HS and focus on fixing the rest of the school then building the HS by offering a special scholarship to anyone that graduates based on the length of time they attend the school. Everyone is afraid to cut anything for fear of the rest falling, but if they don't act the rest will fall anyways.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-8120946364777783382009-05-27T07:13:59.486-07:002009-05-27T07:13:59.486-07:00Seriously?
