Senior Walks taking place this May
Posted on 04/28/2021
Grand Junction, CO - Several D51 elementary schools are hosting Senior Walks this year, offering graduating seniors a chance to go back to where their K-12 careers began.
Senior Walks are events where seniors return to the elementary school they attended, don their caps and gowns, and form a parade in front of current students at the elementary school. The goal is to inspire elementary students to look toward the future, while giving seniors a proud moment to connect with their past.
