山姆叔叔美國學校

第二十四屆幼兒園畢業典禮圓滿落幕

March 2020

連續幾天細雨綿綿，2020.7.26這天老天爺給了個涼爽宜人的開場，在全體畢業生家庭的防疫配合下，隆重溫馨的第24屆畢業典禮得以順利啟幕。
畢業生們盛裝隨著師長緩步紅毯，兩側映著一幕幕珍貴的成長影片，一段段相處的回憶湧上你我心頭；大夥兒齊立舞台上專注聆聽著師長們的祝福，孩子們或昂首凝望，或啜泣落淚，這一聲聲的關愛叮嚀將陪伴大家進入新的求學旅程，齊聲吶喊「畢業快樂」後，五彩繽紛的彩帶將節目領入精彩的勁歌熱舞與豐足的美食饗宴。

Rhino班活力四射的That’s What Makes You Beautiful、Unicorn班優雅可愛的Lemon Tree、Gorilla班活潑輕快的Who Let the Dogs Out、Swan班柔和暖心的Hello, Goodbye，還有Sunshine班熱情洋溢的We’re All in This Together，場場都令人印象深刻，難以忘懷！

勁歌熱舞後，來到畢業典禮重頭戲-朗誦與授證，台上站著大方挺拔、亭亭玉立的寶貝們，曾經是那麼青澀稚嫩；在山姆叔叔成長茁壯的時光、快樂的學習成果盡在畢業詩中由孩子們緩緩道出，這一段同儕、家長及老師們的陪伴是未來不可或缺的養分與力量！孩子們帶著人生的第一份畢業證書、家人精挑細選的畢業禮物，與師長親友們留下一張張難忘的合影。驪歌響起，師長們殷切的期盼化為文字落在孩子們的成長紀念中，祝福孩子在未來的旅程裡，能繼續保持熱情、快樂探索，展翅高飛！

師長們的祝福

I would like to congratulate every K6 student for working so hard and learning so many things, so that now they are ready to graduate from kindergarten and go to elementary school. I have known them all for 3 years now and seen them all grow up from being shy babies into being very clever students who know so many things.
It’s funny having a class of all girls but they are all very cute and smart, it’s been a pleasure to teach them. They have really grown up so much since they first came to Uncle Sam. I wish you all good luck for the future and keep trying hard!

Teacher Jon

親愛的猩猩寶貝們恭喜你們畢業囉！
還記得你們初次來到學校的模樣，只有這麼小而且非常害羞，有的哭了、吐了，甚至還和我老鷹捉小雞呢！但是現在你們已經長大了很多，而且有著許許多多快樂的時光及美好的回憶。再1個月你們就要進入小學，將要邁向另一個學習的新階段，將會認識很多新朋友，還會學習很多新鮮的事物。所以，Teacher Alisa非常的高興，也非常開心。
謝謝在場的爸爸媽媽們，也是山姆叔叔的好夥伴，有了你們的耐心與關愛、支持與配合，讓這群孩子們順利的成長與學習，讓孩子的童年留下一篇篇精彩的、難忘的回憶。孩子們，未來仍有許多挑戰需要面對，別忘了師長們的教誨，我們永遠也不會忘記你們。最後，謝謝各位今日的蒞臨並分享孩子們的榮耀與快樂。

Teacher Alisa

So, I was asked to write a one-minute speech for today’s graduation. But really, what can I say? How can I summarize more than three years into one minute? I have been your teacher for a long time, but I have also learned so much from you. The experiences over the last three years are experiences that I will carry with me for the rest of my life and for that, I thank you. You are not just wonderful kids, but outstanding individuals and I believe you will go far in life. And after you graduate, if you see me, whether it’s five days later or five years, please say hello. You will grow and change, but I’ll always be your friend. Thank you.

Teacher Jonathan

I remember meeting many of you in Teacher Irene’s Baby class. Throughout the years I’ve had the opportunity to watch you grow up. As each year passed I was able to get to know each of your personalities better. When I became your Teacher in K3, I felt very happy because I knew we would have a great class together. I was very happy to have a class of smart, energetic and fun students. Students who wanted to learn more about the world and each other. I feel very lucky to be in your lives. You have made every morning bright and cheerful. You have spent your days at our school challenging yourselves to learn as much as you could, opening yourselves to new experiences and exploring new interests and ideas. I have two feelings at the end of our journey together. One is a little feeling of sadness because I will not be able to see you when I come to school in the morning. But the other is of great happiness because I know that you are prepared for the next chapter in your life. You will continue to grow and evolve. Life will bring new experiences and challenges. I hope you always remember our time together. I hope you always remember our words of encouragement. Thank you for being you who are you. You have made me very happy.

Teacher Luis

I am so proud of all the K6 students that are graduating this semester. As a teacher, it is always hard to say goodbye to a group of students that you have taught for a significant amount of time. The students often influence you as much as you influence them. My goal as a teacher has always been to foster a love of learning and a desire to think critically about things. I have enjoyed all of the time that I have spent with the K6 Gorillas. They are a very special group of students with what I hope is a bright future ahead of them. Gorillas never be afraid to ask questions about things that you don’t understand and always try to do your best in anything that you do moving.

Teacher Jed

很開心可以從你們一進到山姆叔叔就帶著你們到畢業，看著你們一路成長、從一個什麼都不懂的小小孩，變成一個會替別人著想會熱心幫忙的小大人，已經習慣每天可以看到你們並看到你們圍繞在身邊，相信一開始會有一點點不習慣，但天下沒有不散的宴席，鶯歌這麼小，我們一定會在路上相遇的！
到新的環境不要害怕，勇敢的去認識新朋友，一定會遇到很多很棒的人，你們這麼棒！相信大家都會很喜歡你們，不要害羞也不要怕被拒絕～被拒絕是很正常的，不可能每個人喜歡的東西都一樣！但你一定會找到屬於自己的好朋友！國小還有很多很好玩的事情，等著你們喔！如果遇到困難，也不要忘記還有愛你們的爸爸媽媽，會永遠當你們的超人，任何事情都可以跟他們分享喔！

Teacher Elly

It’s wonderful watching these children grow and mature over the past two years. When I started teaching them, many of them couldn’t yet write their names. Now they’re doing elementary-level grammar exercises. Some of the students used to have behavior problems, but each one of them has gotten more considerate and kinder over time. Many of them were very shy at first, but now they all have fun talking to me and talking to each other in English. I was very fortunate to have this class.
