We are so thrilled to be able to have an in-person graduation ceremony this year, and can’t wait to celebrate with all our awesome fifth graders!  Plans are in the works, but here’s what we know so far:

Date: Thursday, June 17th, at 1:30pm  (Rain date June 21st)

Location:  On the field outside the playground.  There will be chairs set up for the graduating fifth graders; families are asked to bring their own seating / picnic blankets.

How to help:  We would love some volunteers to help decorate the field/fence/basketball court ahead of time, to make it even more festive and exciting for the kids!  Please email Tui at secretary@lepto.org if you’d like to join us!

Gift bags:  We are working on gift bags for all the kids, which will include the yearbooks and a middle school sweatshirt.  We know not all the graduates are going on to Bigelow Middle School, so we are asking all 5th grade families to fill out this very brief form for us to let us know which middle school your child will be attending and what size sweatshirt we should get for them:

Please respond by this Friday, May 28th, so we can be sure to order and have the sweatshirts in time for graduation!  (We understand information is going out this week to families who are waiting to hear if they’re going to Day or Bigelow — if you haven’t heard by Friday, please let us know!)  We have also included a “Lincoln-Eliot” option for anyone who is not sure or not going on to a Newton middle school.  If we do not hear from you, we will order your child a Youth Large Bigelow sweatshirt.

Thank you for your help, and hooray for our fifth graders!
