Spirits were high at Botelle Elementary School Monday night as students ushered their families into classrooms during the annual Celebration of Learning, ready to “instruct” their parents in the skills they had been learning.
The walls of the school were decorated with artwork created by the youngsters and the evening ended with a Spring Concert that showed off their musical skills.
“The kids are coming in and saying to their parents, ‘Follow me,’” said Principal Lauren Valentino with a smile. “They are so excited to show their parents what they have been learning. This has been a Botelle tradition for quite a while but this year we sent out individual invitations for people to come. We wanted to give the kids the opportunity to be the teachers.”
