How was your senior’s sunrise at the Lincoln Memorial?

[Anonymous]

Ours had a great time. Saw a bunch of kids from previously schools and had a group picture from with kids from elementary school. The kids are now at a bunch of different schools but all the schools had the same senior sunrise day. Seems like everyone had a lot of fun.

DP but a lot of schools have a tradition where the senior class goes somewhere together to watch the sunrise one morning early in the year. Many go to Lincoln Memorial.

Mine’s a junior but odds are 50/50 for this outcome next year. At best.

DC was there and had a great time! It is a nice tradition for DC schools.

My kid's school did theirs on campus. Hiked down to the river and watched from the rocks looking down river.

It's a fancy private school tradition where the kids get together and talk about how much better they are than the public school kids.

Give it a rest - I know public kids who have done this too. And hint - public and private kids have no beef with one another. Just petty parents do.

Of all things to bash private school students about, you're mad they got up early and went down to the public monuments to watch the sunrise?

+1. I know lots of publics that do this. Maybe not at the Lincoln Memorial because we're in Virginia, but this tradition isn't a private-only thing.

I had one in public and one in private and both of their classes did senior sunrise on the first day of school (neither of them went though - they both preferred to sleep).

Yes Jackson-Reed does not do this! I feel better knowing this.

My kids' private school doesn't do it. Guess we're not "fancy" enough.
