Exeter-Milligan Celebrates Kindergarten Graduation


Exeter-Milligan honored 11 kindergarten graduates on Wednesday afternoon in the Exeter gym.

The students entered the gym to "Pomp and Circumstance" before filing onto the stage. Their teacher, Mrs. Amanda Pettygrove, welcomed the audience and the graduates to the ceremony.

The students started the afternoon festivities by signing and drumming on buckets to the song "Schools Out for Summer" by Alice Cooper. They sang two more numbers under the direction of Exeter-Milligan music director Mr. Mark Perez.

The students then were called to the front one by one while Pettygrove noted their accomplishments and awards for the year and Exeter-Milligan Principal Laura Kroll presented them with their medallions (sponsored by the Exeter-Milligan Booster Club) and shook their hand.  Pettygrove also shared the favorite memory from kindergarten from each student along with what they want to be when they grow up.

The class of 2036 career goals ranged from teacher to softball player and basketball player.
