My Project

As our little learners prepare to take their next big step into elementary school, we want to celebrate their journey with a memorable Kindergarten Farewell Picnic! This special event will be filled with fun activities, laughter, and meaningful moments to cherish. Our students are well deserving of this great project. They deserve to be celebrated with this milestone. Kindergarten has so many skills to master and learned, we want to celebrate the end of the year of the school year.

As we honor their growth and prepare them for the next step in their education, we are celebrating the hard work and achievements.

We want to show the appreciation to our Kindergartens before they move on to first grade.
