The future is bright for the Lathrop Elementary School Promoting Class of 2018.
In a promotion ceremony inside of the school’s multipurpose room Wednesday morning, the future Lathrop High School class of 2022 said goodbye to their formal elementary education in front of a packed house of family and friends. In true Lathrop elementary fashion, the event was an affair for the entire school – with the graduates walking past each of the lower grades which had lined up outside of their classrooms to wish the promoting students the best of luck in their future endeavors.
Students Emily Rubio Correa and Michelle Gonzalez offered the salutation and Pledge of Allegiance while the 4th through 6th grade choir sang the Pledge of Allegiance. Student Speaker Camille Pereyra addressed her fellow promoting students with a speech, and Lathrop High School Principal Greg Leland delivered the commencement address.
