ROCK'in Through JUNE!

 

Senior Walk! One of our favorite days of the year! We decorated, made signs, and cheered as we welcomed back our former Split Rock students from the WG Senior Class of 2021! They walked through our building and paraded around our front circle waving to all of our students and teachers. Such a fun tradition for our WILDCATS! YOU ROCK! '21 and DONE!💙👨‍🎓💛
