Graduating Park City High senior Lin Quarnberg greets his kindergarten teacher Denine Therrien at McPolin Elementary School. Graduating seniors visited their old schools on Thursday one more time before commencement.
Shortly after noon Thursday, there was a pause in the regular routine at each elementary school in the Park City School District.
Then, doors opened, and in walked Park City High seniors, visiting their old schools once more before graduating.
At McPolin Elementary, all the elementary students were lined up and ready for the big kids, who gave low fives while the smaller ones looked up in admiration at the 40 graduates dressed in their bright red cap and gowns.
Teachers reminisced and said they enjoyed the chance to see kids they once taught at the threshold of adulthood.
One administrator said to the group, “Once a Moose always a Moose.”
