The Starrett Early Learning Center (SELC) hosted their first set of Stepping Up Celebrations on June 21st in their school yard playground at 125 Schroders Avenue (from June 21 to June 27 SELC will hold five separate stepping up ceremonies for each SELC class.)
The ceremony was held both in person and streamed virtually for families and for students in Ms. Jospehine, Ms. Cashmere, and Ms. Ciera’s classroom. The children sang the Starrett Early Learning Anthem, It’s a Beautiful Day, De Colores, and Number Rock.
“I say this all the time it takes a village. It takes a village and everyone in this village has an intricate role to ensure that our children are safe, that they are healthy, happy, and joyful,” SELC Executive Director, Tammy Moore said during her closing remarks.
The celebration ended with the distribution of certificates as well as light refreshments and teddy bears for the children.
