FLower Ceremony

Each school year begins and with a flower ceremony where new eighth graders present a flower to the budding first graders as they begin their journey through the grades. The first graders walk under an archway made by parent and loved ones and are met at the end by an eighth grader who will be their buddy for the year. In return, at the the end of the year the first graders will present their buddy with a flower during the graduation ceremony.
