Families in Pike Road celebrated the beginning of summer and the end of another school year with a splash.
“It’s a tradition that has been going on for 8 years or so, and it’s a bit of a celebratory piece,” said Principal Jeff Hatfield. “They’re gonna show up and have some fun with their kids on the way home on the last day of school.”
Hatfield said this year’s last day was bittersweet with many third graders leaving for the intermediate school and some, going even further.Overall, Hatfield says it was a great year but says there is still some work to do with some setbacks caused by the pandemic. “Whether it’s the readiness of children with early literacy skills or just social, emotional state of mind, I think we as a society are still sort of reeling from that and trying to navigate the new way,” said Hatfield.“The best part of the year is just seeing the accomplishments that kids have achieved,” he said.
