Continuing with the weekend's tradition of school-related nostalgia, it has apparently been 16 years since I "graduated" sixth grade. That's an entire person-who-can-drive's lifetime! ACK! I feel old. Nowadays, sixth grade graduation seems to be a huge deal, but when I was there? We finished up the school year without any hoopla and moved on to junior high. *shrug*
I don't know if my year was the first class to have these plaques made up, or if they're removing them one by one to make room for the current class. Still, it was neat to see it hanging there, with all my elementary school classmates' names. The school finally took down the quilts we'd made (each student designed a square), which was sad! My mom now teaches at my old elementary school, so it's kind of fun to go back and see what changes and what stays the same. I know for a fact that everything is much smaller than it used to be. :D
