When the kidnappers arrive, the senior "victims" will have only enough time to go pee...they will be abducted as-is...no time to brush their teeth or shower. It went really well last year and we're definitely doing it again this year. The parents were so eager to cooperate...it was great! We started a senior tradition last year:

I hadn't considered a couple of these before, but they seem like they could be great additions to the way we honor our seniors. Thanks for the post.
