Promotion

Just 3 more days of school!!

As the school year draws to a close here in Nairobi, Rosslyn Academy celebrates with many ceremonies and services to honour students' sports and academic accomplishments. We have attended Year End Banquets, Graduation Teas, Promotion ceremonies, and church services.




Today was Max's Grade 5 Promotion: moving to the Middle School for Grade 6 next year. It was a beautiful ceremony. Tim was the guest speaker and Max had the privilege of introducing him!
Max's class also sang a song called "Together in Harmony".
You are not alone
and I'm not on my own.
Together we're united by the love God has shown.
And I'll be there for you
Like you'll be there for me.
We're strong and undivided, finding courage in unity,
Together in harmony.
Max's best friend Isaac made a speech reflecting on the year.
This is Max and his teacher, Mr. Kranik.

And what would a Promotion be without food?!! Tomorrow we will attend the Grade 8 Promotion (moving to the High School for Grade 9) and on Thursday we will attend the Grade 12 Graduation. An exciting week for everyone!

Congratulations Max. You look very smart in your suit - it looks very familiar too!
Can't wait to see all of you!
