4K Promotion Assembly
| |
On May 13th at 8:30 in the NFBC Auditorium, our 4K students will walk across the stage and receive their diploma.
During the year, our 4 year olds make many strides. For many of them, this is their first encounter with a school setting. They learn to take turns, share and get along with others. Academically, they learn to count to 100 and read using blends of consonants and vowels. They learn to recite Bible verses and sing songs.
During the 4K Promotion Assembly, you will get a glimpse of what they learned this year. Please make plans to attend this program.
