I still have all my yearbooks from elementary, but I'm given to nostalgia.


In elementary the teacher probably guides the signing event. In older grades the kids have to initiate for themselves

Plus, I don’t even know where my yearbook is. I’ve moved so many times since high school that it probably got lost somewhere along the way.


I have all my yearbooks.

The kids don’t care. They have phones.

Our 8th grader also came home with lots of signatures and signed a bunch of yearbooks. Same with our 5th grader. Several HAGS were recorded!

Things change. It's our kids' school experience, not ours.


Their experience is staring at screens. No one know how to write or talk face to face anyway



And you walked to school every day, uphill both ways, in the snow.
