📸💛 Today was one of those moments that tugs at your heart in the best way. Our seniors gathered for their very last lunch with a loved one—a time to slow down, reflect, and savor these final days of high school.
One of the most special WLS traditions also took place: opening their first grade time capsules. Letters in crayon, future dreams written in shaky handwriting, and tiny treasures from years ago brought big smiles (and a few tears). Watching them share those memories with the people who’ve cheered them on every step of the way was nothing short of beautiful.
As the year winds down, and this chapter comes to a close, we hope these moments—the laughter, the love, the traditions—stay with them forever. 💫
Here’s to making memories that last a lifetime. #WLSFamily #SeniorStrong #OnceATigerAlwaysATiger 🧡🖤
