Fourth-graders at Eagle View Elementary School traditionally have a day to celebrate becoming middle-schoolers with a program for parents and fun and games.
The COVID-19 pandemic made that celebration not possible this year, but fourth-grade staff and Principal Melissa Hesch still hosted a celebration Tuesday, May 26, where fourth-graders were driven through the school loop in a car parade to receive well wishes as they move to the middle school as fifth-graders.
