Graduating Seniors Return to Union Cross Elementary for a Parade


At Union Cross Elementary, school officials invited graduating seniors who once attended Union Cross to participate in a Graduate Parade.

“We've asked the seniors to wear their caps and gowns,” said Nela Hawley, the Instructional Facilitator at Union Cross. 

On Thursday afternoon, graduating seniors came.

“The seniors and our students really enjoyed it,” Hawley said. “We've had Career Day and we wanted to promote the college part of ‘College and Career Ready.’”

“It was nice having former students show our students that hard work and determination pays off. The seniors visited former teachers and took pictures around the campus...very sweet!"

"We had students from Glenn and Atkins attend. We also invited students that went through Union Cross from other high schools.”

“An added bonus was that the students from different high schools were able to see each other and reconnect!  We hope to make this an annual tradition!" 

"Our school safety patrol (fifth-graders) also helped with the parade and felt honored to be a part of it.”
