Yesterday was the official last day for the seniors. This morning, however, has still been about the seniors! The senior class was here bright and early - even before the sun rose! They had some fun blocking the normal parking lot for faculty and staff parking. Then the teachers had a breakfast for them before they practiced for the actual graduation ceremony on Sunday. And lastly, senior Cole Thomas gave his final morning announcements and then signed off. On to bigger and better things for the River Valley Class of 2024!
