It is a tradition for the graduating high school senior class to give a gift to the school. Plant a tree, give a plaque, a display case, a painting. I don't remember exactly what my class gave. It was a name plate for the front of the school, something like that, anyway.
The point is, it's a gift from the seniors to the school.
Last night I attended the graduation ceremony for the school from which I am retiring this year. The senior class gift: Swag bags for the principals.
Does this strike anyone else as inappropriate? Or am I just old and cranky? Have you ever heard of such a thing? What was your senior class gift?
