Last Day of School - Tappan Hill

Friday 25th June marked the last day of Kindergarten for Campbell and last day of Third Grade for Cameron. Time has certainly flown this school year and it really did not seem that long ago that we were starting the school year!

Saying goodbye to Kindergarten was an especially emotional time for many teachers, staff and parents this year, as Tappan Hill, the gem of the school district, was closing its doors for the last time. Pre K and Kindergarten is being moved to John Paulding School this coming September.

I was very happy to have the chance to observe the farewell tradition, as I had missed it three years ago when Cameron had "graduated" from Kindergarten. Mr Moynahan was on the roof as Chief Bubble Man and DJ, much to the childrens delight.

As the buses were loaded the teachers and staff assembled in the center of the circle to wave the child off as they were driven home from school for the last time this school year.

Tears were shed and many hearts were heavy. Tappan Hill holds many wonderful memories for our family and many, many more throughout the district. I am certain that with the amazing Pre K and Kindergarten staff John Paulding will be a place were tons more fond Pre K and Kindergarten memories are created.

Thank you to everyone for making this school year magical for our children.
