Wishing You All A Great Summer
Well, it’s May 25th. The seniors are gone, and journalism II is winding down. Congratulations to us all, and I personally would like the thank everyone for checking out ThisJustIn during our second year of operation. We’ve come a long way since last year, figuring out what works best and what doesn’t, and I hope you will show the next website editor the same support you’ve shown us this year as they take the website from my hands and turn it into something even bigger.
Signing off, Kimberly Sloan, 2010-2011 Website Editrix

Smudge across the Stage Before Graduation
A few weeks before graduation, the custodial staff at Wilton Jr./Sr. High School waxes the auditorium stage in preparation for the Commencement ceremony.
However, after the janitors waxed the floor for this year’s activities, several streaks were left in the wax by a chair that was slid across the stage during an FPI practice. While not immediately noticeable, it has the custodial staff rather miffed.
“We’re going to have to re-wax the entire stage,” janitor Dennis Vance says, “and we want everyone to stay off of it now until senior awards night.”
He added that FPI would be able to still use the stage for their performance on the 20th of May, just that they would have to move their practices elsewhere until then.
The process for waxing a floor is a time-consuming one generally involving cleaning the floor thoroughly, stripping it, reapplying fresh floor wax, and blocking off the area to allow it time to dry.
