Garfield School: Our 6th graders celebrated the end of their elementary school journey at the annual 6th Grade Dance! 🎉✨ Students enjoyed an evening filled with music, dancing, laughter, and memories with friends. As they prepare for their next chapter, it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all they have accomplished during their time at Garfield School. We wish our 6th graders the very best as they move on to middle school!
