St. Lawrence O'Toole ECLC Kindergarten Graduation

We were always rooting for you!  And with that sentiment St Lawrence O’Toole Early Childhood Learning Center in Brewster, NY proudly sent eight Kindergarteners to their next academic adventure.  During the graduation ceremony on June 18, 2014 the children shared songs that illustrated some of the information they learned; prayers, the alphabet, the months and days of the week, subtraction, and phonics.  They also proudly showed off their most wonderful accomplishment – learning to read!  The day will be forever remembered with memories shared of a year filled with craft projects, songs, holiday centers, academic challenges, and making new friends.

               Fr. Richard Gill, Pastor of St. Lawrence O’Toole Parish, presented diplomas to the young graduates and congratulated them for completing this academic milestone.   Mrs. Donna Colello, Director of St. Lawrence ECLC, congratulated the graduates and thanked their parents for entrusting their precious children to the school and hoped they will always feel that it is their Home Away From Home.  She encouraged the parents to continue to grow the religious foundation the children received during their time at the school.  Their teacher, Miss Amanda Tucker, ended the graduation ceremony with a quote from Susan Hood, author of the book Rooting for You -  “With room to bloom, to stand up straight. Get going, get growing! Your whole life awaits!”

               St. Lawrence O’Toole ECLC is proud to present the Class of 2014 -  Ava Jean DiBenedetto, Daniel Serafini, Dylan Boniello,  Ella Riofrio,  Jack Tota, Kevin O’Gorman, Maeve Lazzaro, and Nico Corrado.
