First grader Hailey Gablehouse celebrates her last day of school the best way a happy kid can - running, twirling and smiling.
Someone at Evergreen Elementary School chalked a goodbye message for students on the final day of class last Thursday.
"Middle school here I come!" said Silje Morse, one of 15 fifth graders at Evergreen Elementary, during her last day of school.
Evergreen marked the end of the school year last Thursday with a celebration on the school playground. Every class, from kindergarten to fifth grade, got a hotdog lunch and cupcakes. They then also got to run, dance, and in some cases cartwheel in a procession across the playground. Afterward, following a brief return to class to wrap up the day, the kids officially began their summer break.
Jenn Miller-Yancey, lead teacher, said the last day of school is always a bittersweet moment, particularly after this year. Evergreen had to operate the full year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The celebration event was the first time all year every class was able to get together in one spot, she said.
"We are very, very ecstatic that we were able to be in person nearly all the school year, it's very exciting," she said. "I think the students have worked very hard this year. We couldn't be more proud of them, and for our staff for sticking through, and everybody is definitely ready for summer."
