Goodbye, Dragon’s Wagon Preschool; hello, kindergarten!
They might not have had a stage to walk across, but a drive-thru parade was the next best thing for graduates of Dragon’s Wagon Preschool. Students who are moving on to kindergarten this year loaded up in their vehicles with their families Thursday evening, May 28, and formed a parade in the driveway of Phillips County Event Center. Preschool staff members were on hand to give the kids a handmade graduation cap, other goodies and a proper goodbye. The preschool has not been in session in recent months due to COVID-19, and the graduation ceremony was originally scheduled during the May 14 preschool program that had to be canceled.
