Most schools around here end with graduation the Friday or Saturday before Memorial Day, with teachers having to go back for a workday on Memorial Day, or a few schools get out the week after Memorial Day. In some areas, especially further north, schools are not out until in June. In all my 36 years of teaching, I never was off for Memorial Day. I usually worked the week after school was out, packing up art supplies, making out orders for the next year, cleaining, and finishing up posting grades. Took a long time for me to do inventory, with counting every needle, bead, pan of watercolor, brush, pencil, and all those things that art teachers accumulate! And to order for the following year, within a small budget. I thought there had been a discussion about doing a reunion in the summer time. I don't get to travel, so it wouldn't affect me, but it might help out some who have school, work and vacation time to consider. Cecelia I'm anxious to see the pictures! > Cecelia, et al, >> I wouldn't be able to go anyway, but this might be a hard time for people >> with kids winding up the school year, to travel. > Very few schools run into June.
