In one of the most special occasions of the school year, Paris Elementary School conducted its annual kindergarten graduation ceremony last week. In a symbolic gesture of students transitioning to the first grade and the formal start of their educations, a large crowd of parents, family, and friends watched the kindergarteners receive their diplomas.
In a touching tribute, Mrs. Tiffany Parker, mother of Eden Parker, who passed away this school year, accepted her daughter’s diploma posthumously. It was an emotional moment in the ceremony, and the large Paris Gymnasium crowd gave her a standing ovation.
At ceremony’s end, 75 students received their diplomas and will now move on to the first grade in the fall. It was a night that celebrated the hopes and dreams of young people who have their lives ahead of them.
Congratulations to the 2023 Class of kindergarten graduates…. next stop…. high school graduation in 2035!
