They're gone!

[Georgie]

We just did our last-day-of-school ritual. All of the staff (over 100 of us) walk to the end of the school driveway and wave good-bye to the buses as they pull out with our 900+ students. It's definitely a time of mixed emotions for students and teachers. One sad thing is that a couple of buses that go to the poorer sections of town generally have a lot of teary little faces staring out of the windows. School is the best part of the lives of those kids. They don't look forward to summer like most of us do. We always notice that. But, time to slam the lid on another year and break out the vino!
