(WHTM)– The school year is winding down and seniors are getting ready to graduate.

About 50 seniors at the Milton Hershey School, dressed in their caps and gowns and headed over to the elementary school on campus for the annual High Five event.

These seniors enrolled during their elementary years and on Wednesday they returned to parade through the halls, encouraging younger students to be their best.

“It’s like a full circle moment because this is where we first came and its like the last time I was with them I was such a little girl and now I’m all grown up and its such a good feeling to see them,” Senior Jenna Burney said.

“Seeing students that we had in class, or in the school building and seeing how successful they are, and seeing their reaction when they see us they remember who we are and they’re just as excited to see us as we are to see them,” assistant principal Travis Smith said.
