nce they receive their diplomas _most high school students can
think only of college and the future looming ahead.
But last week, seven new high school graduates briefly stepped
backward in time to their very first graduation: from the kinder-
garten at Early Impressions Nursery and Day Care Center.
To celebrate its 17th anniversary, Early Impressions invited
its first graduating class to visit the new crop of grads. As guest
speakers, the alums shared their memories of their first school, and some
even shared their favorite books.

tion last month. 0
