Yay! The 3rd graders are graduating on friday (02/10/12). But honestly I only teach 1st and 2nd graders so I'm pretty much like whatever haha. The funny thing is though that after the ceremony the teachers have to position themselves around town at the local hangout spots to watch over the students.
