Head of Doherty Tracy Murch praised the fifth graders on all their accomplishments at Doherty and wished them luck at the Middle School next year.

Olympic Day
Clad in tie-dye and grouped in their Hives, Doherty kindergarten through fifth grade students competed in Olympic Day. The students bounced hippity hops, played tug-a-war, and competed in a variety of activities. The pre-kindergarten students had their own miniature version of Olympic Day in the gym, with scooters, bowling, and an obstacle course. Olympic Day ended with the annual fifth grade vs. teachers kickball game, won by the teachers.
End of Year Celebration
The pre-kindergarten for 2-year-olds, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten students had an end of year celebration with their parents on their last day of school. The soccer field and playground were filled with music, bubbles, games, face painting, and a petting zoo. Congrats on a great year, early childhood students and parents!
Unit II walks the red carpet
The Unit II students ended the year the last week of school dressed in their best and attending an award show hosted by their teachers. Students walked the red carpet, cheered on by their classmates as they were given awards for their achievements throughout the year.
