As the final bell rings at CES, we aren’t just wrapping up another school year—we are saying goodbye to an incredible group of fourth graders who are officially ready to take on middle school.
It feels like just yesterday they were walking through our doors with backpacks bigger than they were, unsure of where to go. Today, they walked out as leaders.
We made sure their last day was one they would never forget. Today, we:
**Watched the 4th Grade Slideshow:**
There were gasps, laughs, and definitely some misty eyes as we looked back at how much they’ve grown. Seeing their journey flash before our eyes reminded us all how fleeting these elementary years truly are.
**Signed Autographs:**
Yearbooks and t-shirts were filled with sweet messages, inside jokes, and promises to stay best friends forever.
**Had an Epic Water Bottle Fight:**
The playground was pure joy, laughter, and a lot of splashing—a perfectly chaotic, fun-filled celebration of childhood.
**Walked the Halls for One Final Lap:**
In one of the most emotional moments of the day, our fourth graders took their final lap through the hallways of CES. With the younger students and teachers cheering them on, it was a beautiful, bitter-sweet walk down memory lane, marking the official end of their elementary journey.
Parents, thank you for trusting us with your students. Thank you for partnering with us, cheering them on, and letting us be a part of their story. We see the amazing people they are becoming, and that is a reflection of your love and dedication.
To our fourth graders: Middle school is waiting for you, and we know you are going to do amazing things. Don't forget where you started, and remember to always look out for one another.
Change is coming, but some things never fade. Hold your heads high, remember your worth, and always keep this in your heart:
**Once a Beaver Kit, always a Beaver Kit.**
We will miss you more than words can say. Congratulations, we are SO proud of every single one of you!❤️❤️❤️
