Wearing their caps and gowns one week ahead of schedule, the nearly 350 graduating seniors of the Will C. Wood Class of 2018 spent Thursday walking in a slightly different procession.

Will C. Wood principal, Adam Rich talked about the event which he says started about seven or eight years ago.

“It’s kind of become a tradition on our side of town, where our seniors go back to their elementary schools in their full gradation regalia. It’s really to do two things, to say thank you to the teachers that helped them get to where they are today and also to show the elementary and middle school students what the ultimate goal is of their educational career here in Vacaville, which is to earn a high school diploma and to show them what that looks like.”
