 <\/p>\n

(Or how it looks from a block and a half away and seven floors up on four different days between June 20 and 24)<\/span><\/p>\n

Look what it starts off with on the 20th! A Bounce House Mania truck on school grounds! Did YOU have anything like that when YOU were in middle school?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought there was only one BH, but a second one popped up:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

There may have been more, but there are limits to what I can see from here.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I DID see the aftermath, however:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was a surprise the next day:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I doubt that there was a prom or any sort of dancing event going on because I took this picture at 9:03am.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Later that day, chairs were set up on the pitch, everyone disappeared and then they all showed up:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if this was an actual graduation ceremony. No one was dressed up or in cap and gown. But if it WAS, the guy raising both arms lent a proper celebratory look to the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then they were gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t see anything happening on the 22nd. Maybe something DID occur, but I\u2019m not glued to my back room window.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Different story on the 23rd: I don\u2019t have any idea who any of these people are (top pic)\u2026\u2026\u2026.parents? teachers?…………..but I like the pose on the guy on the right, who looks like he just graduated from Family Feud Prep (\u201cIt\u2019s up there, Steve!\u201d):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Suddenly, it looks like a repeat of two days ago (middle pic).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next morning, all the chairs are stacked and covered against the fence. Behind the fence is a tree with what looks like a Pride Month bench. The next day, chairs and bench were gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all I know.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed my ignorance and my photography and congratulations, graduates.<\/span><\/p>\n
