ACS school families, faculty, and staff celebrated the accomplishments of our Kindergarten students with a Virtual Graduation Program that aired on YouTube the morning of June 9, followed by a Drive-By Parade later that day at the ACS campus, where students were greeted by their teachers, aides, and the ACS Cougar mascot and received their diplomas.
In her opening remarks during the virtual graduation video, Elementary Principal Gail Alford applauded the efforts of school families and staff, who worked together to help students achieve a successful year of learning and growing.
“This is not the typical way we would be celebrating, but we did not want the year to go by without recognizing the outstanding work of the students and recognizing those who played a part in helping to guide them on this special journey,” Alford said. The 35-minute graduation video also includes heart-felt messages from kindergarten teachers Hayley Price and Julie Reilly and songs performed by the kindergartners, filmed remotely from their homes.
During the afternoon of June 9, parents and their students arrived at the ACS campus by car, van, and even motorcycle for a Drive-By Parade in the parking lot. Teachers and aides greeted the students and presented them with their diplomas.
During the first week of June, as a special keepsake, ACS staff also delivered personalized yard signs to kindergartners at their homes.
