Our preschool graduates took their walk toward kindergarten while families gathered outside to cheer them on and celebrate.

This year, four Southport High School seniors joined the parade. These seniors were among the very first students to attend Perry Township's preschool program.

One group is taking their next step into kindergarten, while the other is taking their final step across the stage tonight. Seeing them walk side by side was a full-circle moment and a reminder of just how fast the years go. Before you know it, today's preschoolers are tomorrow's graduates. ❤️
