THE ROSE CEREMONY (BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER)

The Rose Ceremony marks the first day of school when we all gather together to begin the year. The CP (first grade) children, bright-eyed and awed by this significant moment, are welcomed into the grade school with roses by the students of Grade 3 of college. It is a wonderful and tender ‘reflection’ on the journey through the grades as the young children look ahead to where they will be in 9 years while the seniors look back on the path of their own education.
