Tuesday morning, May 29, featured music, dancing, poetry, mementos and an ice cream social at the Kern County Superintendent of Schools’ Harry E. Blair Learning Center in Bakersfield. It was a ceremony worthy of a graduation, which it was, although two days early. Three students from Blair who would be joining Sequoia Middle School eighth-graders, with whom they share a campus, for commencement exercises on May 31 were receiving congratulations, best wishes and tokens of appreciation from classmates, teachers, staff, parents and relatives. Graduation may have meant a little more to the Blair students, who are all severely disabled and have spent most of their lives in a daily struggle to sit, stand and walk independently. Curriculum for all three does not merely consist of what is printed in a book or written on an erase board.
