A bright yellow banner across the top reads ā€œELEMENTARY SOAR / LEARNERS ASSEMBLY.ā€ The students’ signs feature the letters and words ā€œS,ā€ ā€œSAFETY,ā€ ā€œO,ā€ ā€œOWNERSHIP,ā€ ā€œA,ā€ ā€œAchievement,ā€ ā€œR,ā€ ā€œRespect,ā€ and ā€œA,ā€ with the final sign also displaying ā€œGOAT.ā€ One student holds a certificate labeled ā€œCongratulations.ā€ The signs are decorated with colorful stars, dots, drawings, and cartoon imagery.
