Sara Sandstrom-Kobi, Nederland. Caribou Mountain Preschool teachers Meaghan McLuckie, Debbie Garrison and Annemarie Fruth hosted a celebration for their preschool students. It was way to honor all students and to celebrate the ones who are moving onto Kindergarten. 

The students walked into the classroom to Pomp and Circumstance with big smiles and sheepish grins. Parents snapped photos as the preschoolers took their places. They sang two songs about all they learned during the school year and the friends they made. The teachers read poems about how special the students are to them. The students received a certificate and then everyone watched a video with each student saying what they loved about preschool and who they are thankful for. There isn’t anything much cuter than three and four year olds talking on camera. It was a sweet and festive way to end the school year at Caribou Mountain Preschool. 

Morning preschool students going to Kindergarten: Wesley Brubaker, Rachel Kobi, Mikey Moss, Catherine Motchan.

Afternoon preschool students going to Kindergarten: Kinley Coil, Shoshanna Coronna, Ember Eich, Aiden Ferguson, Araya Frank, Gehrig Harmon, Maizie Larimore, Alex McElvain, Fritz Moritz.
