Graduation Day for Class of 2024
|
We are ready for the summer! Our Pre-K graduation was on May 16th in the Pine Tree Patio. This year, our Pre-K class consists of thirty-four students, and twenty-two will head to kindergarten. Eleven will be returning to Catalina, and one will be off to live in Europe. We are so proud of our twenty-two graduates. When they grew up, some wanted to be teachers at Catalina, race car drivers, Moms, Artists, Spa Helpers, Police Officers, Paleontologists, doctors, and even fairies.
