To honor them for their time at the school, kindergarten to third-grade students lined up in the hallways and clapped as the students make their final walk down the hallways they have spent many years in. Teachers who were leaving the school or retiring were also part of the walk to thank them for their work in changing students' lives. Since the school is small, the principal says that they often have those emotions due to the close bond that they have.
