Monday is the big day! Kindergarten Graduation will be held in the High School Auditorium on Monday, May 23rd beginning at 6:30pm. Doors will open @ 6:00 PM. The program will begin at 6:30 sharp so please keep that in mind and allow time to park and find a seat. Students who are graduating will need to report to the gymnasium. There are no reserved seats or a limit to the number of guests per student, therefore, seating is on a first come first serve basis!
*Kindergarten Graduation DVD orders and money are due no later than Wednesday, May 25th. If you are interested in purchasing a DVD, the cost is $8.99 (checks made payable to Legal-eze) Green order forms were sent home earlier in your child’s folder.
**Students will be wearing caps and gowns for graduation. Students are asked to wear a white collared shirt for the evening graduation (not during the day to school). Shoes will be visible so plan accordingly. Girls are reminded not to wear items in their hair, since they will be wearing a cap. (Pony tails and hair accessories will get in the way of the caps sitting flat.)
**Students will be exiting the auditorium and going to the gym after the performance. Parents can look for their child in the gym by class/teacher.
PLEASE NOTE: Graduation caps and gowns must be returned to the teacher after the graduation ceremony. Tassels are to be taken home as a keepsake.
Kindergarten will practice for graduation on Monday, May 23rd in the afternoon at the High School. Please try to have your child at school for this practice so he/she will know what to do for the evening ceremony. Students will be walking to the high school, so please dress your child in shoes for walking and a jacket with a hood or an umbrella in case of rain.
Thursday, May 26th is our class field trip to the Ringling Bros. Circus at the Giant Center in Hershey. Students who are carrying their lunch are reminded to be sure to bring a drink too.
