Letter from the Superintendent of Littleton Public Schools, addressed to:
Katherine Hill
Class of 2018
Holy crap.
Side note: While I can barely imagine a superintendent of schools sending “me” a letter when I was just entering Kindergarten — one just did not do that back then, but instead sent letters to the parents, and addressed them as Mr. and Mrs. — the idea that (a) it would be typeset on preprinted, brightly colored paper, and (b) that it would have an “electronic mail” address on it would have been inconceivable. Which makes me wonder in what ways this will seem utterly archaic to Kitten when she’s sending her kid off to Kindergarten — that it had an “e-mail” address of “@lps.k12.co.us”? (“Mom, why memorize an address when you have the person’s Name and Context?”) That it’s on paper? (“But — how did you keep it filed and crossreffed, mom? How could you find it in a few months or a year?”) That it’s in English? (“M@, s0 zed-c00l ^1337!”). The mind reels.
