Dear Families,


It's been such a wonderful school year, and the students can't wait to celebrate! Join us for an End of the Year Celebration where students will sing some songs and we will honor the preschoolers who are being promoted to Kindergarten!


Students will have a regular school day on the day of their celebration and should arrive for regular school hours. However, if you would like to join us for the celebration, please see the information below. This event will take place in our gym, and due to space limitations, we are only admitting three guests per child for the celebrations. Thank you in advance for adhering to our guidelines. If you have any questions about this, please contact your classroom teacher or email Barb Golik at bgolik@emsd63.org.


Dates & Times:

  • June 1 @ 9:00 AM or 12:35 PM: Ms. Fronimos, Ms. Gebhardt, Ms. Sandstrom

  • June 1 @ 10:30 AM or 2:05 PM: Ms. Diaz, Ms. Hague, Ms. Thomas

  • June 2 @ 9:00 AM or 12:35 PM: Ms. Howery, Ms. Merkel, Ms. Walsh

  • June 2 @ 10:30 AM or 2:05 PM: Ms. Hershman, Ms. Kawczynski, Ms. Mansavage


Additional Information: The celebration will last approximately half an hour for each performance.

  • Please enter the building at Door#2. Doors will open 20 minutes prior to the start of each celebration.

  • The celebrations will start promptly at each start time.

  • If you plan on bringing balloons for your student, please leave them in your car until after the performance. These will not be allowed in the gym during the performance.  


Live Stream: The events will be live streamed HERE. You can watch from home or provide this link to family members who are not in attendance.


Class Pictures: Teachers will take a class picture with students earlier in the day and will email it home to families. Unfortunately, we will not have time to take group pictures after the celebration.


Individual Photos: We will have two photo backdrops available in the Imagination Station, where you are welcome to take pictures with your child after the celebration.


Dismissal: If you are taking your child home after the celebration, please email your classroom teacher at least 1 day prior to the celebration. You will need to see the classroom teacher at the end of the performance to collect your child.


Thank you,

The First Steps Preschool Team
