As we approach end-of-year celebrations, we find ourselves pulling together threads, remembering events of the seasons, and anticipating the summer and upcoming year. Here’s what next week looks like.
Thursday, May 19th, will be the last day for Kindergarten this year (a half-day for kinders). The rising first-grade Bridging Ceremonies will then be on Monday, May 23rd at the school.
Also on Thursday, the Magnolia 8th grade class will hold their graduation at 5:00 p.m. They are the very first class with students who’ve attended Mountain Song since Kindergarten! These students have been trailblazers and memory keepers as they welcomed new students along the way. This will be a special event.
Our last day of school, Friday May 20th, will start with the Rose Ceremony outdoors, which you are welcome to attend. In this ceremony, our graduating eighth graders are recognized by the first graders giving them a rose. This mirrors the start-of-year ceremony when eighth graders welcomed first graders with a rose. So our Rose Ceremony next week will close the circle of the year. Class celebrations will then be sprinkled throughout the day while students gather their belongings to take home for the summer.
A major accomplishment this year was the purchase of our building. Our task now is to transform this into our home, putting our own touches on the school in the coming years. To that end, we are still in the midst of our May Faire Fundraiser to gather donations for a new playground. Please give, support our family-owned businesses, and spread the word!
Thank you for all your support of Mountain Song teachers and staff. Your partnership in learning and growing is what makes this school such a special place.
With gratitude,
