We are very excited about upcoming plans to celebrate our 6th graders during a virtual promotion ceremony and car parade on Thursday, June 10th.
The virtual promotion ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. We are requesting that all of our in-person 6th graders remain virtual on this date. This plan permits each 6th grader student and their family to be together to celebrate this momentous occasion. The teachers and school staff will greet students and their families online for the promotion ceremony promptly at 9:30 a.m.
The 6th Grade car parade will begin at 12:00 p.m. here at LCES. This will provide both virtual and in person families the opportunity to visit the school campus and be greeted by LCES school staff, teachers, and students.
The Car Parade will loop through our Kiss & Ride and Front Bus Loop. 6th Grade cars should enter the Kiss and Ride entrance from the Stringfellow side of Hollinger, making a right turn into the parking lot. We will be working with our local police department to help manage the flow and impact of traffic along Stringfellow, Hollinger, and Lees Corner Rd.
