In late May, the St. Jude School Program honored 13 kindergarten graduates during an afternoon ceremony that included families and staff members.

The graduates walked into the hospital’s Marlo Thomas Center to “Pomp and Circumstance” as supporters cheered their accomplishments.

After a rendition of a kindergarten graduation song by Child Life music therapist Amy Love, the graduates received their certificates and were honored in a slideshow.
