Today, we held our last 2025-2026 VPK graduation at Bayside Discovery Center. We’ve always thought it was special, to have each class have their own time to celebrate. As with the other ones this week, we had a crowded “Lighthouse!”

Thank you, Miss Lisa, for another great year. My favorite part of the morning, was the special award that each child received. What made it so special, was that as Miss Lisa described each child, each child knew exactly whom she was describing. I think they are all leaving, BFF’s. ❤️

On Thursday, Bayside Discovery Center had our second VPK Graduation! The Seahorses did great! We are so proud of all of you! Thank you, Miss Kayla, and all your hard work! We had a great school year. Now, off to Kindergarten! ❤️.
