PINTSIZED PRI ILEGES If you are in the sixth grade or lower, you've probably thought about how you can't wait until you get to be in high school and get the privileges of changing classes, get- ting to play sports, and being a cheerleader. But, have you ever thought about the privileges in ele- mentarythat you won't be able to enjoy in high school? For exam- ple, not having class for part of the day and getting to have a Valen- tine's day partyg Or getting a field trip just for being good in class.

Or, maybe you have a little brother or sister to look after. In all grades K-12 you will have responsibilities and privileges. And this is the way it will be the rest of your life. For now though, you are probably just concerned with making it through the day without any of the dreaded respon- sibilities, and a whole lot of the pint-sized privileges of elementary. This group of first graders line up after their field trip to the high school's new Ag build- ing.
