During a recent government meeting, the Superintendent provided an update on several key topics, including a memorable graduation ceremony and preparations for the upcoming school year.

The graduation event, which was attended by many community members, faced an unexpected challenge when the electricity went out just as the ceremony began. Despite the disruption, attendees, including staff and board members, adapted by performing the traditional \"Pomp and Circumstance\" march, albeit with some humorous dissonance noted by students. The Superintendent described the evening as joyous and memorable, emphasizing that the decision to hold the ceremony outdoors, despite the risk of inclement weather, ultimately proved beneficial. Had the event been held indoors, the power outage could have created a more uncomfortable situation for attendees.

In addition to the graduation recap, the Superintendent shared that kindergarten teachers from across the district convened for a five-hour meeting to plan the first month of the upcoming school year. The educators collaborated on resources and strategies to ensure consistency across the three towns in the district. The meeting concluded with teachers feeling both exhausted and invigorated about the direction for the next academic year, highlighting a positive outlook for early childhood education in the district.
