Birthdays Today
Wes Welker
Today is also known as May Day: The best known modern May Day traditions, observed both in Europe and North America, include dancing around the maypole and crowning the Queen of May. Fading in popularity since the late 20th century is the tradition of giving of "May baskets," small baskets of sweets or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps.
Announcements for Today
Here's our tentative plan for 8th-grade graduation:
Thursday, May 14th:
- Livestream the 8th-grade slideshow on YouTube at 6:00 PM (Valedictorians are submitting speeches to me due Monday, May 4th)
- All 8th graders and family meet at Oakdale parking lot at 6:45 PM with decorated cars for the parade
- We will publish the route so that the neighbors can be out on lawns to cheer on grads
- After the parade, we will go back to the school parking lot to get 8th-grade grad signs off the fence (paid for with leftover social $), their diplomas, and a treat from the 8th-grade homeroom moms.
