On Tuesday, June 11th, the Richard A. Nowak Gymnasium was filled with joy and pride as the Saint Joseph School Pre-K 4-year-old students and their families gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and receive their diplomas. The ceremony, a testament to their hard work and dedication, began with a procession followed by the “Pledge of Allegiance.” The morning’s program also included the prayers “Our Father” and “Hail Mary,” as well as the songs “If I Were a Butterfly,” “Thank You,” “Kindergarten Here We Come,” and their favorite, “Tooty Ta.” The highly excited students, their families beaming with pride, received their diplomas from Saint Joseph School Principal Beth Boudreau after their presentation. Then, they settled into the audience with their parents to review an incredible slide show highlighting events and their achievements throughout the 2023-2024 school year.

Nineteen students, each with their unique journey and growth, advanced to Kindergarten: Vianna Addo, Pheobe Anobah, Jaxson Blain, Clark Collins, Mila Denert, Dominic Dziminski, Dominik Kicilinski, Adam Kielinen, Magdalena Kosiorek, Matthew Kubiak, Benjamin Maurer, Julia Mazzone, Declan Pacheco, Parker Perkins, Juliette Prendergast, Mia Romeo, Sienna Rucinski, Kaya Sudol, and Michael Taddesse. Under the guidance of Ms. Robyn Dodge and Mrs. Pier Cutler, these students have blossomed and are ready for the next chapter of their academic journey. Congratulations!
