Apparently there's a long tradition at the kids' high school of underclassmen skipping the seniors' award ceremony. Other kids' parents, who apparently are infinitely cooler than me, are taking their kids out for a fun breakfast and then taking them to school at mid-day so they can go to their post-ceremony classes. My daughter asked if she could go with one of her friends and her cool parent, but I'm old school and figured that part of being a freshman is suffering the indignities that are part of that hellish year of school. Still, I didn't want to be totally un-cool so I told her that if she came up with a creative idea to "sell" me on the concept of skipping the ceremony I met let her go. Below are the two marketing campaigns she came up with and were waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. The first is a video she shot with her digital camera (that's her younger brother she recruited for the project) and the second is a set of panels she taped to the wall in the hall leading to our bedroom. FYI, she's going to breakfast.

Luv it, Especially the 2nd campaign.
She’s lucky her teachers didn’t throw the book at her. At my high school, if you even thought about skipping on the “everyone and their brother in your class skips” day, you got a nice big black mark on your record and the opportunity of not graduating.
Twas fun when a few kids decided to risk it and had to have their parents sue the school when the school admins wouldn’t budge. haha.
Guess they’re more lax these days.
Nicely done job.
