Corpus Christi School Community Celebrates Kindergarten Graduation

Proud parents, grandparents and friends crowded the Corpus Christi chapel as the school held graduation for its 35 kindergarten students Tuesday morning.

“It’s been a blessing to teach at Corpus Christi School,” said K-A teacher Helen Torebka, who has taught kindergarten for 25 years.  “The kindergarten children have grown in faith, in knowledge and in love.”

Following the processional , the children sang “Sing for Joy” and “God Bless America” before the distribution of diplomas by school principal Michelle Murillo. Then the children sang “Walk in the Light” and concluded the festivities with a recessional  march to “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Said K-B teacher Christine Rocha, “This was an excellent class and we had a lot of fun this year,” adding that she bases her teaching philosophy on words once said by author Beatrix Potter: “If I have done anything, even a little, to help small children on the road to enjoy and appreciate honest, simple pleasure, I have done a bit of good.”
