Although their earliest years in the Lynbrook School District have come to a close, kindergartners from the Kindergarten Center looked ahead with excitement during their moving up ceremony on June 24.

Families made their pride heard as the soon-to-be first graders gathered on stage wearing a rainbow of mortarboards. Under the guidance of Lauren Behan, kindergartners sang several songs reflecting the bright futures ahead of them, including “Rainbow Connection” by Jim Henson and “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars. In a letter addressed to the graduating class, Principal Ellen Postman looked back on a momentous year.

“Time has seemed to fly by,” she said, “and while I am excited for summer, I sometimes wish for time to slow down just a bit so we could have a little more time together. Yet, I know you are ready to go on to first grade.”

The garden outside of the Lynbrook Kindergarten Center received colorful additions on May 28 as students enjoyed a sunny day of planting fresh flowers.

Each class took turns getting their hands in the soil to dig and make space for new flowers to line the garden. Each kindergartner carefully placed a flower of their own, learning how to break up the soil and roots to help it grow efficiently. As they enter the Kindergarten Center, students will see their flower bloom and glow, creating an important lesson of patience and responsibility.
