Stepping Stones Ceremony

At SCS each year, we celebrate the completion of the elementary grades with a “Stepping Stones Ceremony.”  For new families, the Stepping Stones Ceremony is a tradition where the teacher speaks about the class and the students, then each student steps over an imaginary line to signify completing their grade. After, they receive a stone with their completed grade on it.  It is wonderful closure and the stones become keepsakes that they collect every year.

Our Stepping Stones Ceremony will take place on the last day of school. Once the whole class has received their stones, they will exit as a group into the school gym where you can meet up with them and take pictures. If you are picking up your child at this time, please check out with their teacher.

Following the Stepping Stones Ceremony, the Kindergarten and 5th Grade will hold their graduations.
