June 27th's almost here!

What the end of the year brings at my school:

• report cards data work
• finishing up grades
• reflecting on the year
• last minute stressing over grades/late work/make up work
• the DC trip and Day out in the City
• "senior prom" -- the big annual 8th grade dance!
• the senior awards picnic
• prepping for graduation
• "senior" t-shirts and yearbook signings
• graffiti - lots of it!
• paint parties
• spirit days
• take-a-picture-and-hug-your-teachers ritual
• course evaluations
• movies
• the "make sure you're ready for high school" speech and the success speeches
• graduation!!!!! and goodbyes :(

Yep, everyone, June 27th's almost here... and so is the end of the year.
