East Meadow Seniors Take A Walk Down Memory Lane

Graduating seniors from both East Meadow and W.T. Clarke high schools were afforded the opportunity to return to their elementary schools on June 20 before graduating from the district.

Parkway Elementary welcomed back nearly 75 members of the East Meadow class of 2018 who graduated from the school seven years ago. Barnum Woods and McVey Elementary schools also greeted alumni from East Meadow High School. Meanwhile, Meadowbrook and Bowling Green elementary schools were able to celebrate seniors from both W.T. Clarke and East Meadow high schools.

Current students, faculty and staff at each building lined the hallways to cheer on the graduates as they walked the hallways they once did as elementary school students. Students also created posters to congratulate, welcome back and encourage the soon-to-be alumni.

This marks the first year of the ceremony for the district.
