Calling D135 Parents: We Need Your Graduation Pictures!

Help us make a record of your child's passage from junior high to high school by submitting photos and posting them here.

Graduation is a memorable time. It is a cause for countless pictures to be taken with newfangled digital cameras with impressive zooms, bells, whistles and built-in tools that make for great shots when pressing the button.

So for all of you parents and family friends of students at Orland Junior High, Jerling Junior High and Century Junior High, we need your help. We want to be able to represent the schools as evenly as we can, and to do that we need your pictures.

This can be done by one of two ways:

  1. Post photos yourself right into this article. But first you have to sign up as a Patch user if you aren't already. Become a Patch User by clicking ‘sign up’ in the top right corner and create an account by:
  • Typing in your name
  • Choosing a password
  • Adding a working email address
  • Looking for the confirmation email
  • Then, go back to this article and click on ‘Add photos & videos’ right under the main picture area

        2. Or, just email your photos to me at Benjamin@patch.com

Of course you can post your own videos if you take some, though the files can be no bigger than 200 megabytes. Don’t know what that is? Ask your child. And try to keep the hand steady while you shoot. You don't want to be responsible for mass-motion-sickness, do you?

If we get at least 50 pictures added to our gallery, I will scour my parents’ home for some god awful graduation pictures of me when I was growing my hair out. It’s actually worse than a mullet and it will make you laugh. In fact, you'll ask yourself, "why?"

Not only that, you don’t want Sandburg being the school with the best gallery, do you? Though Gary Middendorf did do .

Congratulations to all the parents, teachers and everyone else involved in helping young people become smarter, even if they complain about school. I know I did.

And most importantly, congrats to the students. Your achievement keeps the world moving forward.
