Children from the Castleton Elementary School will flood the Castleton State College Fine Arts Center as they present a mock graduation for the classes of 2024 and 2025 with their mentoring program on Thursday, April 4 at 12:30 p.m. in the Casella Theater.

A total of 80 fourth and fifth grade students from Castleton Elementary School will participate in the graduation along with their mentors from Castleton State College. 

"The kids love the event and get very excited about it," said mentoring program coordinator Corrie Keener.  "They are also sad because it's when the program comes to an ends."

Graduation will begin with an opening speech from Castleton Elementary School Principle Eloise Ginty, followed by Keynote speaker Richard Reardon, Head of the Education Department. 

Students will be called up one by one to receive their specialized t-shirts, which will serve as their diplomas to complete their graduation.

The mock graduation will also include mentor to mentee speeches, a passing of the torch to new mentor leaders, a picture slideshow and awards. 

After the celebration a reception will be held in the lobby, including food and drinks.
