June is packed with a lot of fun days as we celebrate the last days of school, and especially those students who are moving up to new schools. Tops on that list of fun days for me is the day our high school seniors — in their gowns — parade through the halls of their former elementary schools.
That couldn’t happen this year, but the district was able to come up with something pretty darn close.
This morning, our Webster Thomas and Schroeder seniors were invited to drive through their high schools’ bus loops, where they were cheered and congratulated by their teachers. They they spread out throughout the district to their elementary schools, where they were cheered again by their former elementary school teachers. Most of the cars were decorated to the max with streamers and balloons, and signs indicating the student’s future college or life plans.
The event is always a very touching moment for these teachers, many of whom haven’t seen these kids since they were in 5th grade.
Plank North teachers lined the bus loop to celebrate their former students.
Across the “street,” Plank South teachers welcomed their former students at the same time.
