The 5th-grade band opened the morning at the Monterey Hills Elementary’s 5th-grade promotion ceremony on May 30.
Spring Student Council President Leah Fong followed with the Pledge of Allegiance, and “America the Beautiful”was performed by a mixture of student singers and musicians.
Fall Student Council President Mazzy Galbraith shared class memories before the class gift was presented. Additionally, multiple students honored Principal Laurie Narro and librarian Amy Blum, who both retired this year.
Narro and PTA President Jennifer Tuason delivered special messages for the 110 graduating students before Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida”filled the quad with celebration.
Danny Lowstuter and Jackson Song offered the benediction and closing to a festive day.
