Seniors are Sad about Leaving

The end of the school experience is a difficult one and each celebrates in his/her own way.  In general there is confusion and excitement.  It is good to be done and very scary at what might be ahead.

For many of the seniors this is the end of a four-year experience with friends.  There have been numerous successes and frustrations.  Heart breaks and tremendous celebrations are all part of the high school happening.

Every year is one of trying to find the balance between - let's celebrate to let's go over the top.

Unfortunately trying to find that balance is difficult.  What sounds like fun and a little silly easily gets out of hand and becomes unsafe to some.  What on the surface is innocent and charming turns ugly quickly.  We are proud that the seniors care that much.  We also want to remember them in happy and pleasant ways.

Please have a small chat with your senior and just say be careful.  We really want no one hurt in what may seem like a harmless prank.
