Our Traditions

Each Kindergarten class puts its own personality into traditional annual events in the class calendar. Students and parents alike enjoy these memorable occasions:

• parading through campus costumed for Halloween, with Trick-or-Treat stops at school offices
• retelling the story of the Nativity in our Christmas play
• enjoying our formal “Daddy Dinner” sitting proudly next to Dad—or in his lap!
• serving mothers tea and cookies at our “Mommy Tea,” while they proudly wear the spring hats their children made in class
• receiving a diploma at Kindergarten Graduation.
  

In addition, Kindergarten students share these traditional events with students in Grades 1-5:

• relaxing on the lawn at our back-to-school family picnic on Labor Day
  hearing great tales at Pajama Story Night in the library
• escorting Grandma and Grandpa around the campus on Grandparents’ Day, a biennial event
• exhibiting their best work in the Lower School Art Exhibition.

Students in Grades 1-5 participate in additional Lower School traditions:

• Halloween Pumpkin Olympics on the athletic field
• Christmas Concert in the Performing Arts Center
• Ice-Cream Social following Spring Concert in the Performing Arts Center
• Grade 8 Graduation.
