First kindergarten graduation in Kyrgyzstan

Tots to continue new stage in their lives by entering elementary school
FJC


BISHKEK - The Jewish Kindergarten of Bishkek celebrated a graduation for the first time in the community’s history.


The Jewish Kindergarten was founded two years ago with the support of Chabad Lubavitch Ohr Avner Foundation. Currently, there are 15 students aged 2 through 6 in this preschool.


The older tots will continue the new stage in their lives by entering the elementary school.


Parents and grandparents gathered in a beautifully decorated hall to share the joy of the occasion.


The junior and the middle kindergarten groups presented a marvelous song and dance for the audience, while the parents sang a thank-you song to the kindergarten staff. Then the graduates danced a waltz at this very first graduation ball.


Rabbi Arie Raichman handed out graduation diplomas to the pupils, as well as photograph albums, a set of writing tools, and their very first prayer book.
