🎓 Bridging the Past and the Future, One Step at a Time 🎓 Seniors from across the District took a stroll down memory lane at their former elementary schools today for their "Senior Walk" as current elementary students and their former teachers cheered them on.

It seems like just yesterday these "little learners" were walking these halls, and now they are walking across the stage as the "big kids."
