Celebrating Our Students: 2024 Moving Up, Moving On Ceremony
It’s been an exciting week and a half for Listen and Talk’s Blended Classroom Program as we celebrated the last day of school on Friday, June 14, 2024 in Kirkland and Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at our Seattle Satellite campus located at Stevens Elementary School in Capitol Hill!
Both campuses in Kirkland and Seattle held their own “Moving On and Moving Up” Ceremonies where we celebrated and acknowledged all of our preschool and pre-K students!
Listen and Talk Executive Director, Maura Berndsen and Dr. Mona Oster, our Education and Research Program Director, opened both events and highlighted our students’ incredible growth and achievements throughout the 2023-2024 school year. Our wonderful educators and staff beamed with pride as they watched their classes sing songs in front of their friends and families. Each student received a certificate of completion, marking a step forward to new adventures—whether moving on to another year of preschool or starting Kindergarten in the fall! There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as parents’ hearts swelled with joy and pride.
After both ceremonies, students and their parents enjoyed refreshments and spent time socializing with our teachers and staff. It was a bittersweet moment, especially for our educators, knowing it might be the last time they watch their students play on our playground.
As we move forward into summer break, Listen and Talk looks forward to seeing our new and returning students for either our Extended School Year (ESY) program in July 2024 and/or when you return in the fall!
Thank you so much to all of our students, families, teachers, and staff for making this past school year so memorable! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for each and every one of you.
Happy summer, everyone! ☀️🎉
