There seemed to be some event going on in the football stadium that night. Possibly a soccer game.

I’m encouraged that so many parents came.

Re[2]–ok, that’s true, BUT that’s an elementary school event held at a high school, it’s not a high school event…
Re[1] It just goes to show what happens when most people get to school by 1 or 2 people in a car–the parking lot can’t hold them. A lot of kids get to Skyline by bus or being dropped off.

In fact–interesting sidenote–Sulura Jackson spent some time talking about how some kids who had chosen Skyline as a school of choice/magnet had to drop out and go to their home school because of the AAPS transportation cuts. I am not sure how many kids they lost that way but the freshman class has just over 380 kids and the sophomore class has well over 400.

There was also a box in the lobby for people with transportation problems to write notes. I don’t know how many people saw them.

I’ve seen the parking lot full for other events – The Science Olympiad, for example.

I was surprised by that, but the school didn’t feel that full (as usual). Was there some other event going on at the same time?
