Each year we formally celebrate the culmination of the Lower School experience with a Moving Up Ceremony. It is a wonderful time for students and faculty to reflect on the experience as students prepare to move up a grade in the fall! Children should come to school at the usual 8:15 a.m. arrival time. The ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. Students will be dismissed from school directly following the ceremony. Extended Day care will not be available.
