2021 First Grade Bridging and Rose Ceremony
Opening Bridging and Rose Ceremony Each year our new first graders have the special experience of being welcomed into the Grades. Their kindergarten teacher will escort them to their first grade classroom as the parents stand witness to this milestone. Later, the grades gather to hear from each teacher about what the year will hold and what new adventures await. Finally, the new first graders are welcomed with a rose from our eighth graders. It's a lovely way to mark the start of a new year.
