Tossing Caps — And Gowns — For St Rose 8th Grade Graduation
Published: May 18, 2020 12:00 pm
Being an 8th grader at St Rose School is a major milestone for students, many who start in Preschool and Kindergarten. There are many special events that take place leading up to and including graduation.
The 8th grade Class of 2020 is missing out on many live events, but the spirit of the school community is strong.
On Saturday, May 16, Mrs Valerie Petrillo, the 8th Grade Homeroom teacher, traveled to all 24 of her students’ homes to deliver their caps and gowns (from a safe distance) in preparation for graduation which is slated for June 6. Details on that event are still being planned at this time.
