SRMS Graduates Class of 2014

On Thursday, June 19, 2014, the St. Regis Mohawk School held their graduation ceremonies for the Pre-Kindergarten and 5th grade classes. It was a beautiful day for the occasion and the ceremonies were held outside under a large white tent.

Pre-K was up first at 9:30am. They walked in to "Pomp and Circumstance" as family and friends beamed with pride. They sang three songs for the crowd beginning with "I Like You, There's No Doubt About It," "I Wish I Had A Little Red Box" and "It Is Time To Say Good-Bye." Then Principal Sharlee Thomas handed each little one a diploma.

At noon, the grade 5 class of 2014 made their way to the tent to say goodbye to the St. Regis Mohawk School. The Staff Band played "Pomp and Circumstance" as they walked out. The Opening Address was done by Stone Chubb, Kaiden Skidders and Iateharonhianiharas Thomas. Principal Sharlee Thomas greeted the crowd and Superintendent Jane Collins also said a few words.

There were several special awards given out to students before they received their diplomas ranging from exceptional leadership and academics, to physical education.

Congratulations to all students for your achievement!
