MANNERS PLEASE! (Exclamation mark is used for strong feeling!)

Remember to respect the Church.  NO BALLOONS!  NO CHEERING! Applause ONLY after ALL the students’ names have been called!  NO WHISTLING!  NO SHOUTING!  We will stand on the altar after the ceremony for a few minutes for photo opportunities.  Families should not stand on the altar.

Family and friends are invited to attend.

Remind family members of MANNERS PLEASE! (Every member of your family will receive a “Red Ticket” if you break The Manners Rules.)

Students are dismissed from the church after the ceremony for summer vacation.

They will sit on the altar steps after the ceremony.  You may approach the front. Teachers will make eye contact with a family member and dismiss them to you.

There is a small reception in the Hall, sponsored by the 1st Grade.

A small snack is provided for students.  Many families like to use this opportunity to take some extra photos and sign yearbooks with friends.
