My 4th Grade Camping Trip

Our fourth grade trip was to Camp Hoover in Northern New Jersey in 1979. That's the same place that we went to for our Girl Scout camping adventures. Mom kept all the papers that had information like directions to the camp, our daily activities and what to bring.I put these in my scrapbook many years ago. Mom took my picture with both my teachers, Miss Kiernan and Mrs. Davies. I had fun canoeing and doing a charchol drawing. I have a few other photos of some classmates and I that I was kind of embarrassed about putting on here - maybe I should've anyhow. We took about a mile walk to the general store and got penny candies. I'm pretty sure that one night some of the boys were looking into the girl's cabin. I haven't read that list of activities since the late 80's - now I'm curious as to what else we did so later I'll check this out.

Kindergarten Graduation - 1975

I don't remember my kindergarten graduation, actually, but I do still have these pictures and my diploma in my scrapbooks and the white tassle. I only have a couple of vivid memories from kindergarten. One was that we had show and tell day sometimes and also that we made Christmas ornaments - I still have mine. I wanted to play with a doll one day but Michelle wouldn't let me which was upsetting. Today I received a letter from my grade school looking for donations. I can't afford to be giving them anything. They are also having a get together in October for the 60th anniversary of St. John's School. I'm not into reunions so I won't be going. I must say that I do have better memories of this school than I do of high school. Some of my dreams take place there, like concerts of Duran Duran in the school gym/ auditorium.
