Wow, five hours, Marley? For a fifth grade grad? That’s insanity, or torture, or both. While I think things like school patrol and individual clubs are good things and I appreciate the initiative in joining, couldn’t they have honored or mentioned the entire club instead of each one? I agree with you, that seems excessive.
The other thing that struck me; do we really want to be honoring and celebrating teachers and students for simply doing their jobs? What does that say to the truly exceptional, inspiring, or commendable performances? If there is nothing to aspire to beyond “showing up”, I think that’s kind of sad.
