Seniors clap out of their elementary schools

At the end of each school year, graduating seniors visit their former elementary schools for a celebratory clap out. These visits celebrate their childhood journey to adulthood while inspiring future generations to come. Elementary students and staff from Timber Trail Elementary, Buffalo Ridge Elementary, American Academy (AA) and DCS Montessori lined their respective hallways to clap for and honor the 2026 graduates, while parents captured photos through tears of joy. At AA, the seniors parade behind kindergartners with their teddy bears. DCS Montessori school clap out is scheduled to take place May 28.
