Although last year's class of 2000 was touted as being the first class of the new millenium, they were actually the last class of the old millenium and this year's class of 2001 is actually the first class of the new millenium. We've brought this point up several times in the past, and, we promise, this will be the last time. And the last time he'll have to see them shoot silly string all over despite his command not to. And this will be the last RTR High School graduation we'll attend as a parent - as our youngest child is one of the Class of 2001 graduates. From now on, we just have to go to take pictures for the paper.
Graduation is always a mixed bag.
Kids are happy to be done with high school, but sad that they may not see friends much anymore. And excited to be moving on to new things, but maybe a little apprehensive. You also tend to remember your own graduation a little bit. Maybe your high school no longer exists, now a part of another school system. Whatever you remember, it was a big day, and we are sure Saturday will be a big day for all the graduates.
