Back row: Teacher Tana Lachance, CAHRD 2012 Kindergarten Graduation Neeginan Teacher's Special Message… From the moment you were born there have been dreams and visions parents have had for their little ones. You have reached another milestone in your life, graduating kindergarten. With every day you grow in body and mind; never stop striving for knowledge in your life-long learning. So it is with happy memories, I watch you all walk out the door, and I wish you great hope and expectations in the years to come. Tania Lachance Funded by Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth. Early Education Centre The Neeginan Early Education Centre 2012 Kindergarten Graduation Kindergarten is a special time. Graduation from kindergarten marks the end of the early learning period that paves the way for scholastic success. How do you recognize the importance of this milestone and make the promotion memorable for your child and family? CAHRD's Neeginan Early Education Centre Kindergarten program held its annual Graduation Ceremony on June 27th, 2012. 5 red caps and 5 red gowns could be seen at the back of the room wiggling and giggling with excitement as parents, aunts, uncles, Kookums and Mooshums were waiting with teary eyes. One by one, each little scholar took their turn walking down the aisle to accept their Kindergarten Graduation Diploma. Followed by a heartfelt teacher's message and special recognition of each student, tea, juice and wonderfully decorated cupcakes were shared. As the little ones skipped out the door with their families eager to get out into the summer sunshine, one is left to wonder what will the future hold for them and where they will be years from now. As a first year Kindergarten teacher, Tania Lachance, said with soft tears in her eyes, "The year was challenging, but it has all been worth it to see the smiles on their faces and hear their laughter today. I will never forget these little guys!" 2012 Graduates Tommy Bluebird-Owens Alex Clark-McKay Kasey Clark-McKay Christine Paupanakis Dacianna Stevenson
