On Wednesday, June 9, the Waterside Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and First Grade classes participated in their annual “Stepping Up” ceremony. Teachers from the classes spoke to their students, remarking on how hard the children worked all year, and how they already were emerging as young leaders within the Waterside community. To celebrate their year, each class sang a special song, Junior Kindergarten sang “I’m Stepping Up,” Kindergarten sang a Waterside version of  “Waving Flag” and First Grade sang “Count On Me.”. The families’ pride in their children was impossible to miss – the ceremonies were truly joyous occasions.
