About:
Throughout the fall and winter, and with plans to extend into the spring, we proudly uphold the tradition known as “High Five Friday.” Every Friday for a month during the fall and winter sports seasons, we dispatch representatives, typically team captains and seniors, from various high school teams to extend a warm welcome to our three elementary schools in town.
The enthusiasm among the high school students is palpable, as they arrive armed with bubble machines, creating a joyful atmosphere as the little ones gleefully walk through bubbles and exchange high fives with their older peers. While the high school students often wear their team jerseys, it’s not a strict requirement. Each Friday, a couple of teams are chosen to visit one of the three elementary schools, ensuring a cheerful reception for the younger students as they begin their school day.
