I made a scrapbook when I was in high school. I did it in chronological order, starting with the "Welcome to School" letter from Septmeber of my freshman year, and ended it with my graduation pictures.

Definitely include things like the price of a pizza and a movie. Take pictures of the school, her bus stop, and lots of her friends. I'd put in a list of her teachers, and ask her to write a little something about each one- maybe why she likes them or why she can't stand them! It might also be nice to include a list of her favorite things, including the top songs and movies that are out right now.

Good luck! She'll really appreciate it in a few years!

I am doing one for my daughter who is a freshman in High school. I am trying to do several pages for each season(fall, spring, summer, winter) as well as highlight pages such as homecoming, parties, etc. I am using the top loading pages in a three ring binder. It is also about her family so there will be pages of Christmas with cousins, etc. She is active in school activities so I have done numerous pages of the sporting events she is in and I am separating those pages into a separate book. I don't know what I will do with report cards, awards, creative writing projects that I always just saved in a regular scrapbook through the grade school and middle school years. I love to take pictures and she and her friends are a good candid audience. If you want to correspond more I will send you my personal e-mail address. My oldest daughter graduated and I wish that I had done this with her.

Boarding school beyond high school?

A friend of mine has a son with learning disabilities. He went to a special high school and once he graduated he went to a college that has special programs for kids like him. No uniform, though. I don't know the name, I just remember it is in Florida. But there were several schools they looked at. I would think a high school guidance counselor could help you, or even a local organization that helps parents advocate for their kids. Why does it need to have uniforms? If that is really important I think you will be greatly limiting your choices.

50th High School Reunion Idea
Q
Comments (0)
I'm chairing our 50th High School Reunion & we've joined the other HS in our district. As a Creative Memories Advisor now & Consultant for 22 years previously, I am going to have each HS have either an 8x8 or 12x12 album that classmates can write in at our event in September, 2018. Then, I'm thinking of giving them to our respective Alumni Associations to keep & store for the future. Since we graduated in 1968, we're going to use the Denim coversets! Any thoughts or ideas?

Were you in high school in the 50s? I've a query about banana peel.
Q
Comments (11)
I graduated from HS in 1954 and never heard anything about banana peels as a drug. Our little town was isolated from big city influences. The main drugs were hard cider and tobacco. A couple of kids did try smoking dried hollyhock stems. That seemed like a good idea since these were hollow and would hold a glowing ember end. However, one try was enough to stop that experiment because when the user took a draw, he got fire or extremely hot gases in the mouth and throat due the hollow reed. On rare occasion, a heroin user might be found. Oddly enough, marijuana (hemp) grew wild in cow pastures and was considered a noxious weed by the Illinois Agricultural Dept. and they requested that if you found any, it should be destroyed. The wild variety found in southern IL is not as potent as varieties grown today specifically for drug use. This weed must have had a bitter taste because for the most part, cows left it alone. However, in times of drought and poor pasture when nothing else was left to graze, some cows would imbibe. It would make a cow behave crazily and an animal that had been gentle might without warning become combative and charge. (Once, I was butted down a hillside by such affected cow.)

High School Research Survey

Hello All! My name is Cole Hendrick. I am a senior high school student at J.W. Mitchell High School in Florida, and I am currently enrolled in the AP Capstone Research Program. The program focuses on giving students an outlet to conduct original research based on an issue or topic they find interesting. Given this opportunity I have chosen to answer the research question “To what extent do motivations for community gardening, such as financial support and community engagement, correlate to self-esteem?” To those of you who participate in a community garden, I was wondering if you were interested in taking the survey. It would take less than 10 minutes and would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to view the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7NQYM79. Thank you, Cole Hendrick
