The Graduation Ceremony for our Grade 5 Alaskids—our beloved little goats from the Class of 2021-2026—has finally arrived.

Watching you all stand tall, confident, and full of creativity on the graduation stage brings up feelings that are truly hard to put into words.

The little boys and girls who arrived at Alaska years ago, so innocent and shy, have now graduated from elementary school and are ready to step onto a brand-new chapter of their journey. You have not only grown in stature and enriched your knowledge, but you have also matured in your thinking, skills, and love for the world around you.

Your growth today is a source of immense joy and special happiness for your grandparents, parents, and teachers—those who have been by your side, loving and nurturing you every single day.

Wide horizons lie ahead. There will be initial moments of hesitation, and challenges that you must face on your own. Yet, your teachers firmly believe that you will be resilient little trees standing strong against the wind and rain, always turning toward the sun to grow tall…

“DREAM BIG, FLY HIGH” is the heartfelt message that Alaska Academy wishes to send with you in this bittersweet moment of parting.

Thank you for coming and staying—for creating such beautiful milestones together with us on the journey of Alaska Academy’s growth.

“Don’t just gaze at the stars – reach for them.” Fly far, and always carry with you the immense love that Alaska Academy has devoted to you.

ALWAYS LOVED AND FOREVER REMEMBERED, OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE GOATS – CLASS OF 2021-2026! 💛
