For the record: School’s out

Posted on June 15, 2009 by Staff

That cheering and shouting you may have heard around noon Wednesday was the collective expression of joy of tens of thousands of school children turned loose for the summer.

If you were near Carrboro Elementary School shortly after that, the soft serenade that followed was the faculty bidding their charges adieu.

The schools were this week buzzing with end-of-year activities and festivities, with the biggest of them all this weekend, when three senior classes trundle across the stage at the Smith Center in pursuit of their walking papers.

We trust that all involved will try to enjoy themselves in a responsible fashion befitting of their new station as graduates.

The rest of us should pay attention too, and remember that many more bikers, strollers and somewhat-wound-up youngsters will be on the street. A little extra looking both ways is in order.
