Just a reminder that the last full day of school for Kindergarten students (K only) is Thursday, June 13th.  The Kindergarten graduation & celebration will be held on Friday, June 14th.  On the 14th, students should arrive to school at 9:30am and parents/family members should report to the gym where the graduation ceremony will be held.  Students will go home with their family members after a celebration in the lower church.

Kindergarten families should have received a notice in their child’s folder earlier in the week regarding this. Please be on the lookout for additional details from the Kindergarten teachers in the weeks to come.

Congratulations to all our Kindergarten families on this exciting milestone!

Over the past month, the first grade classes have watched the life cycle of a caterpillar right in their classrooms –  from larva to chrysalis (cocoon) to butterfly.  On Friday, students watched as the butterflys were released into the wild.
