Stepping Up... Marni's Pre-K Graduation

Marni's year of Pre-K began winding down today with the official "Stepping Up" ceremony (otherwise known as "graduation").The proceedings took place in Prospect Park and consisted of a performance by each class, handing out of diplomas, and then a pot-luck picnic.

After bringing Marni to class, we stuck around and then walked with the class up to the park. The kids had some running-around time before they were lined up on a hill to start their singing. Marni's class belted out a spirited version of "Bazooka Zooka Bubble Gum" followed by the "Days of The Week Song".

Once they were done wowing us with their singing talents, it was time to hand out the diplomas. And then... time for food and fun.

Marni grazed the various food tables in between running, kicking balls and swinging a bat.

By noon it was all over and most of the kids marched back to PS39 to finish out the remainder of their school day.
