Congratulations to Tennyson's 2013 Graduating Class

The Grade 7s looked their best on Tuesday, June 25th at the Lord Tennyson 2013 Graduation Ceremony.  The theme of the event was The Red Carpet, and with the help of many volunteers the gym was transformed. Special thanks to Jasminka Miletic-Prelovac for bringing her vision to reality. After each student was introduced to walk down the red carpet, they gave bilingual speeches, making their parents and grandparents proud. 

The students heard from Mme Lavoie and they received their certificates as well.  

Following the ceremony there was a delicious lunch put on by Taste to Savour (owned by Tennyson parent, Tracy Rowand) and then the students had their Grad Dance.

Much fun was had by all and it was a wonderful way to wrap up some very special elementary school years.
