Last Thursday evening, East Sac County proudly hosted a Preschool Graduation Ceremony for all of our students who will be entering Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten next year!
Students were honored by friends and family, received their diplomas, dressed up in the cutest caps and gowns, walked down a red carpet, and even performed a few songs for everyone in attendance. Graduates also received a summer swag bag and their very first class ring — a Ring Pop to enjoy as they left! 🍭💍
After the ceremony, families enjoyed photo opportunities with Raider backdrops, refreshments, and plenty of time to celebrate this exciting milestone.
We are so excited to welcome these amazing students for full days next year. Congratulations to the East Sac County Preschool Graduates of 2026! 🎉
A very big thank you to our Preschool Teachers, donors, and volunteers who helped bring this new ceremony to East Sac County. Your hard work and dedication made this a night to remember! ❤️🖤
