Avery recently came home with an order form for school rings. In the sixth grade. I thought it was pretty crazy, but I figured it was the same everywhere, until I talked to my sister. She couldn't believe it either, and her kids are not offered class rings. Why in the world do you need a class ring in the sixth grade?! Shouldn't they have something to look forward to in high school? I can't even image Avery wearing a ring, and I definitely can't image him actually keeping up with it. Needless to say, he did not get one. Has anyone else ever heard of school rings in middle school?

I do not even have children near that age but I have to comment my thought - - - "That's weird!"
Libby, I had a middle school ring. It had a red stone and I think a letter "S". We didn't really have choices about it. You could either get a gold or silver one and it had a shield on one side so you put the school colors on there and the school name on the other side. I thought you got one of those. I got it for Christmas in 7th grade, I think.
Wow, my memory is really bad! I don't remember that at all. I feel stupid now, especially if I had one!!
I'll have to take a picture of it and send it to you.
That's a first for me...Sav got her class ring in 10th grade and it has been nice for her to wear it longer than we did. Anything to make a buck...what if they move?
