Today, June 10th, is the 180th day of school which means that school is over for the summer in Guilford County (NC). Hopefully, teachers have inspired students to love learning; students have put their best foot forward and made every effort to excel; and parents have been there to support their children and their children's teachers every step of the way. Let us hope that this year was great for all and that next year will be even better. One sure thing about teaching and learning is that the summer gives us all time to renew dreams and to refuel for a fresh start. May your summer be everything you are dreaming it will be-- and more. Don't forget to read!
This photo was taken as busses exited Lincoln Street onto Lee Street on the campus of Dudley High School and the Academy at Lincoln. This is a busy intersection with many students walking to school. Crossing guards work diligently keeping students safe (even those who think they're too old to be helped across the street). Here is a virtual wave goodbye and a warm embrace for our Skywatch Friday friends who will be looking at that slice of sky in the background.
This must be a great day to celebrate if you are a kid.
Your many yellow buses make it a happy picture.

My nephew and niece will be in school for another two weeks or so... They are sooo looking forward to summer camp and going to the zoo, road trips, etc. All sorts of activities are on the agenda to keep them busy and stimulated. I'm sure they'll have a great time.
Have a nice day!

You break up almost a month before our schools.
I was amazed at the number of overhead cables decorating your sky :-)

What keeps many teachers going is that phrase "next year will be even better." It's good to have a fresh start and try to improve on what has gone before. Great summer vacation to all!

That was my best school day, last school year day. The older I grew the happier I was. Never could stand our Soviet way of erasing individuality and growing cogs in the machine..

Our School District saw the close of this school year just yesterday! Our kids are glad to have summer vacation even if they seemed sad to say goodbye to some of their school mates....
