Kindergarten Ceremony - May 21

It's almost that time of year again! That first day of school must seem like years ago to the new class of kindergarten kids , but for many parents it was only yesterday they held their little hands and walked them into their class room for the first time. Soon the school year will be over, family and friends will gather to congratulate the class of 2020. The Rector kindergarten students will have a graduation ceremony May 21st. The Ceremony will begin at 12:00pm and last 30 minutes. After the ceremony each class will have a party in their classroom to celebrate. A special thanks to the kindergarten teachers " Amber Bucy , Lynnette Trail, Mandy Isom" for making this a Great year for the students.
