Join us for this heartwarming Escuela tradition as children symbolically move up to, and are welcomed by, the next program level.

All toddler, primary and elementary families are invited to come to our Moving Up ceremony on the elementary playground at 11:00 a.m. with a family picnic to follow. Each classroom will sing a special song and the oldest children will move up to the next program level. Bring your own picnic lunch and supplies, and please let your child's teacher know if you are unable to attend the program.

Please remember, there is no hot lunch available from Robin, so your child will need to bring a lunch: Either bring a picnic lunch for the family, or, if you are unable to attend, make sure your child has a lunch.

School closes at 1 p.m.
