Graduation & Moving up
On June 18, 2024 El Primer Paso graduated its 54th preschool class. Our children, with the help of their teachers and Board member Luis Martinez (who accompanied the children on his guitar), learned two songs each class and put on a very special performance. Two of the songs, " We're Off to Kindergarten and English/Spanish Color Song (Graduates and Moving up Children)" are depicted in this video.
