   At baccalaureate on May 20, seniors were treated to a special message from guest speakers: Mr. Jess Buller, Mrs. Liz Bauer and Mr. Dave
   Hargadine. They were also treated to gifts from the community and a dinner.

                                                                 Jess Buller shares words of wisdom.

                      A trip down memory lane

   Graduating seniors officially took their last walk at the “new” K-8 building on Thursday, May 27. In this newly established tradition, the
   graduating seniors walk the kindergarten class down the hallways as other classes cheer and clap. This year seniors also walked with a first
   grader since they were not able to do it last year. The Class of 2021 was one of the first classes to attend K-8 at its location now.
