We’re Moving Up — Kindergarten, Early Education Students Promoted at June Programs

Hundreds of family members, friends, faculty, and staff gathered to celebrate a successful year of learning and growing at our Kindergarten Graduation on June 12 and at our Early Education Promotion Program on June 13. The programs, filled with smiles and songs and high-fives, allowed students to demonstrate their accomplishments and praise God for His faithfulness throughout the school year.

At the action-packed Kindergarten Graduation, the students delighted the audience with a series of skits and songs that told the story of a day in the life of kindergarten. Early Education Director and Elementary Principal Gail Alford then presided over the presentation of diplomas to 52 kindergarten students, who proudly posed with their white graduation caps.

Kindergarten teachers Holly McCrosson, Julie Reilly, and Ashley Vaccaro presented their students with special awards for academic achievement, Christian character, Bible verse memorization, math, art, technology and Spanish. Kindergartener Austin Samuels gave the closing prayer.

At the lively Early Education Program, family members and friends smiled and clapped along as each of the classes, from PreK2 to PreK4, performed songs they had learned this past year and moved to the music — including “This Little Light of Mine,” “God of Creation,” “I am a Promise,” and “Good In Every Way.”

There were lots of smiles and hugs as our PreK4 teachers, Robin Genter, Jennifer Kelley, and Jessica Samuels, presented promotion certificates to their students. The program concluded with a message and prayer by Teresa Bird, Assistant Director of the ACS Early Education Center.

ACS Kindergarten Students Make Memories with Virtual Graduation, Drive-By Parade

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.
