Gill St. Bernard’s celebrated the Class of 2032’s transition from Lower School to Middle School with a heartwarming ceremony on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Family and friends gathered to honor the students during the Lower School Closing Exercises, and with the conclusion of the symbolic ceremony, the Class of 2032 officially moved on from their Lower School career.
The event began with a processional and opening remarks from Lower and Middle School Director Kyle Armstrong P ’21, ’29, ’36. As a thoughtful parting gift, Armstrong presented each student with the book Be You! by Peter H. Reynolds.
“As is written in this book, never be afraid to be you!” Armstrong said. “You have so much to offer the world, so let yourself be curious, persistent, and kind. Enjoy this book many times over, and congratulations once again on completing Lower School.”
Students were involved in every aspect of the program, from introducing speakers and singing to taking charge at the podium and receiving recognition for their achievements. Lower School Assistant Director Jill Fedon P ’27 introduced the Class of 2032 during the annual pin ceremony, and Head of School Sid Rowell P ’08, ’14 awarded the prestigious Amol Ajinkya Citizenship Award to Isabella Bajada and Robert DeFalco.
Congratulations to the entire Lower School for a successful school year, and best wishes to the Fourth Graders as they advance to Middle School!
