Greenfield kindergarteners 'ring in' 2015-16 school year

The kindergarten students at Greenfield Elementary rang the victory bell at the beginning of their first school year.

Kindergartners were assembled Tuesday morning, Aug. 25 for this occasion. All four kindergarten classes had a chance to pull the rope and watch the bell swing back and forth in the tower. It was a great way to celebrate the first week of their formal education.

For many years, the victory bell rang once every morning, calling children from all over the city to come to school. It has been used to celebrate athletic victories, and it rings out at graduation time as well.

At the end of the 2015-2016 school year, the fourth grade students will continue this tradition by ringing the victory bell, signifying their last day in school as elementary students.
