The lyrics of the songs performed during the First Presbyterian Preschool graduation ceremony reminded students and parents that “Twinkle, twinkle little star, kindergarten is not that far.”
A graduation ceremony took place Friday morning at First Presbyterian Church to recognize the outgoing class of pre-kindergarten students. During the ceremony students presented First Presbyterian Preschool Director Clare Carter with roses for her birthday before being pronounced ready for kindergarten.
Families celebrated with their graduates following the ceremony at the Butterfly Ball in the Fellowship Hall. They enjoyed a photo booth, face painting and making crafts together.
Graduates performed songs including "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."
