Do You Save Keepsakes From School

I have my prom picture still after 24 years. My mom saved some of my paper work and grade cards. I really like that. It lets me remember the good times I did have in school. I even saved the glass and napkin from prom. I saved all my poems I used to write in 7th grade. How about you?

I have saved a few things from my schooling but not a whole lot...but my kids I think im saving to much I gotta get rid of some of it I dont have room to keep it all lol. [minnie_98214]
Ive been saving for my kids alot myself. I keep them in air tight plastic containers. Ive got stuff from when they were in pre-school till now. That is so far about 17 years worth of stuff. [dangnabit67]


my mom kept stuff from when i was in school such as school pictures and some art work and stories that i wrote and i have done the same for my daughters...but it is impossible to keep everything though! [cher913]
I try to save alot. I know I enjoyed looking through the things my mom saved for me. [dangnabit67]



Me too! I still have all my pictures when I was in elementary and high school. I like it. My mother keep it for me. heheh. I don't have the grade cards anymore but I still have the other letters from class. hehehe. [jesbellaine]
Probably bald-LOL teasing wink [dangnabit67]


I have absolutly nothing left of the past. Not one memory left. When I left the 'jerk' I left everything behind & just got out with my life..Lori [dumblnddzzy]
a bittersweet ending. Sorry Lori. At least you dont have to worry about him any more and you still have the memories inside you. Hugs. [dangnabit67]



I no longer have any keepsakes from school, I did have one or two things but nothing of any great importance, I was just glad to get out of school to be honest with you!! But the keepsakes that I did have were lost when I had a house fire. I lost most of my material personal possessions in that fire, which upset me more than losing the actual house. [gemini_rose]
Yeah I was glad to get out of school too. I was happy to be free. Until I found out I would have to work hard the rest of my life-LOL I'm sorry about the fire. It would be hard to lose some things. Hugs. [dangnabit67]


Yes haha...I've saved friendship bracelets, class photos, notes that my friends and I have passed during class and letters. [BabyGirlSoSweet]
Thats good you saved what was important to you. I wish I would have saved some of my notes-I'm sure I would laugh like crazy about some of them-LOL [dangnabit67]


My Mum still has all my school reports and certificates. She brings them out from time to time and we talk about them. It's quite fun. Brightest Blessings, my friend. x [Darkwing]
Yes, it was nice of her. I still have all my kinds special work and reports too. I guess I must have appreciated what she did. Have a great day! [Darkwing]


Yes I have saved quite a bit from my school days. I have all my prom and homecoming pictures. I still have all my report cards. I even saved my band shirts that I had to wear under my marching band uniform. It is all packed up in a box. Saving things like this helps us remember those days and it's also a way to share our youth with our children, grandchildren and so on. [speedy1279]
Oh wow I just recalled that my mom still has my senior prom dress-LOL Wild. She even has my wedding dress from 20 years ago. Yeah my kids thought I was goofy-LOL [dangnabit67]


Yes...I even have my friend's birthday cards, valentine cards, letters because e-mail was not yet available, pictures,etc [asawanialvin0611]
Very nice. Thats reminds me I went through this phase where I would save Christmas cards probably around 8th grade. Ah the memories. [dangnabit67]


I have saved many things from my school days . Notes from friends , and boys . pictures , old notebooks , and programs , and papaers from the plays I was in . Once in awhile I will go through all them . I smile or cry , and wonder how time went by so fast . [metschica25]
I guess I miss some things from my past being that life was much simpler. And I do miss some of the friends I had. Life does seem to go by quickly when you look back. I'm starting to feel old-LOL [dangnabit67]
