Elementary School Walks

“If you ask graduating seniors what their favorite end-of-the-year activity is, many will say it's the Elementary School Walks, in which graduating seniors who attended elementary school in Cambridge, or South Dorchester K-8, get to wear their graduation regalia, and walk through the halls of their old school, greeting students and teachers,” a statement from Dorchester County Public Schools said last week.

This year, for SDK-8, it's May 24 at 9 a.m. Maple, Choptank and Sandy Hill are May 26. After this event, seniors will return to C-SD for the "Passing of the Key" ceremony at 10:45 a.m.
