Last Day of Access Classes

In December, as we were finishing our last hours of Access classes, some students felt emotional about the end of the program. They had become good friends, and were saddened at the thought of seeing each other less often. Mrs. Harbin had an idea to help bring some emotional closure to the students by adjusting an American tradition a bit. In the USA, at the end of the school year, students often buy a yearbook with pictures of the events that happened at their school that year. Then, they sign each others' yearbooks with messages about how they appreciate each other and how they want to stay in touch during the summer, etc. So, each Access student put their name in big letters on the top of a blank piece of paper and had their classmates write them messages on their page. Each student then took their paper home as a souvenir of the program.
