Goffstown kindergartners celebrate school's end in song
GOFFSTOWN — At the Glen Lake School's kindergarten end-of-year celebration Friday morning, some of the school's 127 kindergarteners shared what they'd learned, in a song.
“When I was a little kid not so long ago, I had to learn a lot of stuff I didn't even know,” sang the members of Kathy Stoyle's class, as part of the song, “The Kindergarten Wall.”
“How to dress myself, tie my shoes, how to jump a rope, how to smile for a picture without looking like a dope.”
Before the completion certificates were handed out, each of the school's four classes performed a song. Besides “The Kindergarten Wall,” students sang and danced to “One Small Voice” from Sesame Street, the American folk classic “This Land Is Your Land,” and “Mother Goony Bird,” a humorous song about a bird and her chicks.
All the kindergarteners then joined to perform “Happy Day.”
Glen Lake Principal Leslie Doster congratulated the soon-to-be first-graders and extended a message of appreciation to their parents.
“Thank you for sharing your children with us,” she said.
Doster also thanked the faculty, saying that without them, the students would not have had such a wonderful year.
As a gift from the school, each student received a DVD yearbook in addition to their completion certificates.
