It seems a bit odd to be posting this End of the School Year Countdown a week after he graduated, but this is the way that the school calendar was. The 8th graders graduated last weekend while the rest of the students had one more week of school before summer break.
Each remaining day of the school year had a theme based on the letter of that day, starting with A on April 21st, and ending with Z on May 26th. Stacy loves these themed days. Unfortunately, this may be James’ last one. I am not sure if they will be doing them in high school.
