Several graduating high school seniors from Abington Senior High School were featured by CBS News for the annual “Grad Walk” at Overlook Elementary School.

According to the story, each year Abington’s seniors encourage younger students to be excited about high school and receive “rock-star treatment” from their elementary counterparts.

“For little kids, it’s kind of a good way to be just like excited for the future as to like what you are going to be able to see in high school and kind of the end goal from where you are now,” Abington senior Sierra Henderson said.

Senior Conner Pendergast said the walk was also sentimental for him since he and his classmates also went to Overlook.

“It’s a surreal feeling, because I remember being that little kid cheering for those seniors graduating, and it’s just a crazy full-circle moment,” senior Conner Pendergast said.

“I have been here since kindergarten, and I’ve seen this every year, and it’s been building up my confidence,” fifth-grader Aubrey Spence said.
