YOU MAKE US TIGER PROUD MARIANA!!

We can’t roll into the weekend without showing you how we celebrated our K5 students today. These might be some of our littlest Tigers but they’re ready for big things…first stop, FIRST GRADE!

We couldn’t have ended this busy week in a better way - we got to celebrate our 5th graders completing elementary school today!

A ton of staff members commented that this was our best completion ever and we couldn’t agree more! The parents were hyped & not only for their own child, but for every child. They yelled & cheered the whole way through!

Here are some quick facts about our 5th grade class of 2025 -

1. They were in K4 when school shut down and went virtual during March 2020.
2. 13 students have been at Clemens since K4
3. 1 student has been at Clemens since K5
4. In total the students won 48 awards from writing, speech and art contests in Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the United States and Internationally.

We’re busy getting ready for K5 and 5th grade completion tomorrow!

5th grade completion starts promptly at 9:00 on the playground.

K5 starts promptly at 12:30 in the gym - maximum 4 guests per student please.
