St. Paul’s Early Learning Center Graduation 2020

This year has been very different than most.  While we normally celebrate our Preschool Graduation in May, this year we were not so sure we would be able to have one.  We were finally able to gather with our graduates and their families and friends at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on Monday evening, July 20th.  While this experience was a little different than most – social distancing, face masks, and the like – some things did stay the same.  Each year our teachers ask the graduating class two questions: 1.  What do you want to be when you grow up? And 2. What were your favorite things about your class?

The future is looking bright for the Class of 2020!  We think we have just about every profession covered…”
