Qi? U 53 The l983 Kindergarten graduation theme, Goin' For a Ride, was based on the popular song from Sesame Street. The graduation program included poems and songs that were related to this theme. Each student had a part in the skits that were done along with the poems. The students received their diplomas from Dr. Turner at the end of the program. The i983 Kindergarten class will be well-prepared for their ride through school in the coming years.
