Throughout the ceremony, the 5th graders gave several performances to showcase their talents. There was a beautiful cover of Diamonds led by one of our students. At the end of the ceremony, several students performed a sign language dance in honor of their achievement. We also had students recite a speech and conduct the ceremony. It is truly remarkable how intelligent and confident our scholars have become!
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our 5th Grade Graduation Ceremony. Mr. Elmore, a youth pastor, was a speaker for the event and he did not disappoint! The entire room was moved by his inspiring speech! He encouraged our scholars to not let any circumstance hinder them, and reminded us all that we are in charge of our own destiny.
Our Steel Drum Band gave their final performance of the year at the Promotional Exercise. For our 5th grade drummers, it was their last performance and a heartfelt farewell. We are excited to see them bring their talents to our AFMHS Chorus and Band.
Superintendent Dr. Vallerie Cave and Principal Sheila Leath handed out certificates to our scholars. They take pride in knowing the students have built a strong foundation at our elementary school. 5th grade was full of memories and milestones, but now it's time for the next step in their educational journey. While the transition is bittersweet, it is a moment we anticipate every year.
An exciting day for our 5th graders! Today we held our 5th Grade Graduation at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School.

We are looking forward to seeing how they continue to grow and thrive!
Last but not least, Mrs. Marilyn Davis deserves a special shoutout for the beautiful decor she prepared for the event. The colorful, life-sized props really brought everything to life and set an upbeat mood for the ceremony.

We cannot celebrate the students, without acknowledging our Champions in the Classroom! The children have taken meaningful first steps in their academic journeys, but it is our teachers who walk along to support and guide them. We also want to thank the parents for constantly showing up and pouring into our schools. We are so grateful to the parents, educators, and staff who made this school year a success.
Some scholars were chosen for special awards due to their academic excellence and improvement. This achievement is the first of many, and we are so proud of how they have evolved this year. From morning songs to story time and counting to 100, our kindergarteners have come so far. We are so honored to help our little ones celebrate their big day!
During the ceremony, the students gave several endearing performances. It shows that our students have learned more than academics — they’ve also built the confidence to sing and speak. Our students have spent this year building foundational skills that will support a lifetime of success. We are so excited for their next steps and to welcome them back next year!
