Sweet perfection

There are 63 graduating seniors in South Carolina who did not miss one single day of school. Ever. Perfect attendance for 12 straight years. I am not going to lie, never in my 12 years of school did I ever have perfect attendance. Probably not even for a semester. Maybe not even a nine weeks.

None of the perfect kids are from York or Chester counties, or I would definitely be trying to call them right now. There were two students in Lancaster County, James Ellis and Joseph Morris, who both attend Buford High. How do you never get sick, never go on a family trip, never have a religious holiday or even never play hooky for 12 consecutive years? I am impressed. Hats off to these 63 kids.
