Senior Walk Through
Today, a new tradition started at Rye Neck. Seniors donned their graduation gowns and walked through the halls of all the buildings they once inhabited. Standing outside, we could hear the cheers coming from the DW, FEB and MS students. Graduates embraced their former teachers and younger siblings. It was a perfect "blast from your past" for everyone! Thank you to all staff, students and parents who helped make this possible! Special thanks to the Booster Club for the amazing decorations and to the business office for the buses! Next stop for seniors: Oakland Beach and the Senior Sendoff, today from 12:00-4:00. See pics here!
