Grade 5 Moves Up the Hill

This week, 16 fifth graders officially celebrated their “moving up” in a ceremony attended by families. This transition from one level of Montessori to the next—up the hill to join the PGIA—is quite the journey! Montessori Director Ms. Sloan and PGIA Director Dr. Fisher provided welcome and closing remarks, the graduating students sang the school song and anthem, and the three Upper El teachers—Ms. Wade, Ms. Lopez, and Ms. Fisher—presented certificates and shared words of praise, wisdom, and poetry.

We couldn’t be prouder of all that these children have already achieved. On to middle school!
