Great Oak started a new tradition this year called Walk of Gratitude. The Seniors put on their caps and gowns, boarded busses and went back to their elementary and middle schools to thank their teachers and inspire the younger students! So special!
Gigi and I met the busses up at Tony Tobin to experience it with Taylor and her friends. This was my first time seeing her in her cap and gown...oh my goodness!
Carson and Taylor have been classmates and friends since Tony Tobin! He will be attending Dartmouth in the fall to play baseball!
Each class of students lined up outside their classrooms to high-five the graduates and cheer them on! It was adorable!
I love the complete look of surprise on Ms. Williams face when she made eye contact with Taylor. Taylor adored her 1st grade teacher and probably hasn't seen her since she left Tony Tobin.
Taylor and Summer gave her flowers and reminisced on their time in 1st grade.
Then she spotted Mrs. Atkinson who she had for 2nd, 4th and 5th!
They were able to rally a group of former classmates together for a picture in her now kindergarten classroom!
Last but not least was a visit to Ms. Taylor. Although Taylor had her for kindergarten at Jackson Elementary, she now teaches at Tony Tobin.
It was truly a wonderful event for the graduates, teachers, young students and parents. Thank you to Tony Tobin for providing leis for each of the graduates as they arrived and for making them feel so special. This is going to be one awesome new tradition!
