Coming off of the recent Residents’
Formal, and our Family & Friends Day, our celebrations of summer continue
at Pathfinder Village with our school’s Moving Up Ceremonies at the Pathfinder
Gym this Wednesday, June 22, starting at 1 p.m. All are invited to attend
this joyous ceremony, which celebrates hard work and achievement, and is a fun
way to cap off another year of learning.
We also hope that in preparation
for your family celebrations and parties, you will come on down to Pathfinder
Produce, at the Village Commons this Thursday afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m. to
pick up all your FRESH fruit and veggie items!

Truly, each and every day has brought with it a
new smile, a shining success, and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment for
our students. As I reflect on this last year, I feel so grateful that I have
had the privilege of being a part of our students’ education.
A piece of me still cannot believe that it is
June already! How is our Graduation Ceremony this week? What will we do without
our graduating seniors greeting us each day? But another piece of me is just so
incredibly happy for our students, especially Pathfinder School’s Class of
2016. Our students have worked so hard this year—they deserve this honor and I
know that each of them is going to change the world in his own way.
With the sunshine out more and more in these
last few weeks, I have found myself taking some time to admire our Hoop House.
Months ago, with the help of our Transition Coordinator Stephanie Jones and
agriculture expert Brian Belknap, our students readied the raised beds, planted
seeds, and cared for the seedlings that sprang up from the ground. Each day
since, our students have weeded, watered, and harvested the literal fruits of
their labor. How proud our students are to see their hard work displayed up at
our weekly Produce Market, where it can be purchased and enjoyed by the entire
community! A truly “full circle” experience!
To our graduates — Jesse, Nicholas, Maddie,
Michael, David, Cassie, Glenn, and Joe — how lucky we are to have had you in
our lives and as a part of our community. Pathfinder School is truly a better
place because of each and every one of you. Congratulations on all that you
have accomplished, and we wish you nothing but well-deserved happiness for the
future!
Our 2016 Graduation and Moving Up
Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 22nd in the Pathfinder
School Gymnasium at 1 p.m. All are welcome to celebrate with us!
Thanks for letting us be a part of it all!
“Mrs. I.” (and Lori)
