Can you see me? I'm going to read a few pages to you of all the places you'll go before you head up here on stage.

003I'm very proud of you and all of the hard work you've done all year. It's amazing to see many of you who were here last summer at Kinder Jumpstart and then see all of you who showed up on the first day of school and now you're going to be heading into first grade. Let's give you a round of applause. So, congratulations kindergarteners. Today is your day. You're off to great places. You're off and away. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know. And you are the ones who will decide where you go. You'll look up and down streets. Look them over with care. About some you'll say, "I don't choose to go there."

004With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not so good street. And you may not find any you'll want to go down. In that case, of course, you'll head straight out of town. It's opener there in the wide open air. Out there, things can happen and frequently do to people as kindergarteners and as footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don't worry. Don't stew. Just go right along. You'll start happening, too. All the places you'll go. You'll be up and away. You'll be seen great sights. You'll join the highf flyers who soar the high heights. Oh, the places you are going to [Applause] go. Thank you to our amazing teachers in school here and Mrs. Salsbury as well and um for filling

005the minds of our kindergarteners with the knowledge that they have now. They've grown so much and we're so proud of them and we're ready to see them get their diplomas. [Applause] I want to take us back 10 months ago. You remember we met in the cafeteria and had a Boohoo breakfast, right? And we got up there and told you, "Your kids are in good hands. We're professionals. We know how to do this. Um, we've got you. Why didn't you guys warn me how squirly these kids are?" And I say that with love and affection because I'm so excited to see what these kids will do. um because the squirly classes are the most athletic classes. As the athletic director, I'm really excited to see them grow and develop. Um not only that, but what they

006were able to accomplish and the growth that they have shown to our school over the school year and the maturity that they have um shown to you as parents, but also to our teachers. And I want to thank our teachers are professionals and they really really did a great job and helped contain that energy that they have. and to focus and that's going to do well for this class.
