Haikus & Gratitudes
Wednesday, May 22, 1:45-2:15PM
Longleaf Center

This celebratory ceremony formerly known as baccalaureate will take place on Wednesday, May 22, from 1:45-2:30PM at Longleaf Center for Environmental Learning.
During this time, Middle School teachers will read aloud personalized haikus and students will guess who is being described. 3rd grade buddies will present students with a flower, and 8th grade will read aloud notes of appreciation for different faculty and staff members.
Attendance is welcome for all 8th grade families. If you plan to attend, please park on Francisco Field by the volleyball net and proceed through the double gates to Longleaf Field. Seating is limited, so please bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket. If heavy rain is forecasted, we will communicate our rain day plans to all families the day before on May 21st. Please follow the link here to RSVP.
