Every year, Overland Trail Elementary celebrates our graduating fifth graders as they wrap up their elementary journey and get ready for middle school. The specific event may vary year to year depending on the committee plan and the budget raised, but the purpose stays the same: celebrate our students in a meaningful, memorable way.
