May 25^th- 9:00-10:00 Kindergarten Graduation

Please note that students should come dressed up for this special occasion. Instead of wearing traditional graduation caps, please interview your child about what they would like to be when they grow up and then create or wear the existing hat that goes with that occupation. For example, if they want to be a professional baseball player, make a baseball cap from scratch or come in an existing baseball cap. Won’t it be fun to see what the children hope to be when they grow up! Please bring your child to the science classroom at 8:30 and then go find a seat in the gym. Don’t forget your cameras. (I’ll bring tissues in case I cry.)
