I have to admit, I was a little cynical about the whole "5th Grade Graduation Ceremony" thing, but it was actually kind of moving.  I went to the same small town elementary school, and it was a very bittersweet, nostalgic thing to see how much the ... http://internet-bard.com/thatdarnkat/?p=331 Well, the word is officially out.
