There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the 2025 Kindergarten Graduation at SAA—a milestone that fills the gymnasium with families, laughter, pride, and just the right amount of joyful chaos. This year, 27 enthusiastic graduates stood tall, ready to celebrate a full year of learning, growing, and making memories. Leading the charge is the ever-patient Mr. Michael Rosich, their Kindergarten teacher, who makes sure every child feels like a superstar.
The highlight of the evening was Principal Jakobsons handing out diplomas to each graduate. Watching those small hands reach for their certificates is a reminder that big things are happening at SAA and soon those will be large hands and high school diplomas. The community took a moment to honor Cheryl Wood, a treasured classroom aide who is retiring after many years of faithful service in the kindergarten classroom.
The celebration like this wouldn’t be complete without a trip down memory lane. The students gathered to watch a video that reviewed their Kindergarten year, highlight reels of learning science, reading, mathematics, field trips, making friends, and all the small adventures that add up to a big start to their careers at SAA. Songs filled the room, voices shouted out in celebration, as families and staff cheered on these young graduates.
The Kindergarten Graduation 2025 ceremony is a good moment to pause at the end of a school year to remember. But it’s also a good moment to look forward to what these 27 graduates will do in the next 12 academic years at SAA and beyond. They’re just beginning of a lifelong journey shaped by faith, community, and academic curiosity.
