Ceremony Instructions  

• IMPORTANT NOTE:  No helium balloons, food, or drinks will be permitted inside the ceremony space. 

• This year, we are holding two ceremonies, and we kindly ask that all promoted learners and their families exit promptly after the ceremony and photos. This will allow space in the parking lot for incoming families attending the afternoon promotion. To ensure a smooth transition, we will begin ushering everyone out by 12:00 PM. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
