To say principal Kelly Hart has been waiting a long time for this moment would be an understatement. "I first saw this in 2020," she said about the idea of pairing up seniors with kindergartners.
Then COVID.
But she didn't forget the idea. Tuesday her wish came through.
The Rocky Grove graduating class of 2022 walked through the Valley Grove Elementary School for a senior walk and clap out, each with a little one in tow. "Cute" was the buzzword echoing in the halls.
The senior walk is an annual tradition, but now that tradition will not only celebrate the past accomplishments of the graduating seniors, but look to the future of the school by celebrating its youngest students as well.
Rocky Grove will hold its graduation tonight (June 8) at 6:30 p.m. outside at Valley Grove Elementary School. The class recently announce Dustin McMullen as the class Valedictorian and Riley Reed as Salutatorian.
