A group of seniors at Pavilion High School drove tractors to school today.

at least pavilion school allowed the kids to do something fun, unlike my high school where the kids tried to do the same and the state police were waiting at the entrance to the driveway and would not allow them on the property with a tractor....

This is a great tradition. I remember when we first moved into town and heard about this, and 15 years later still going strong. Brought a smile to my face this morning when I read it!

Very interesting I never heard this! How cool! And no disrespect to anyone but what happened to shorts on girls having to be arms length in school?

Jessica, I'm pretty sure those rules went out about 40 years ago. I agree though..young women don't need to wear Daisy Dukes to school.
