Kindergarteners and first-graders at PS 207 held their end-of-year Memory Day celebrations last week at the Marine Park school.

The kindergarten class celebrated on Tuesday June 16, and the first-grade class had their chance to party on Thursday June 19.

“It’s a day to remember all the nice and fun things we did over the school year,” said assistant principal Teresa Kepertis.

Children got to view a slideshow recapping all the events, field trips, and lessons they experienced throughout the year, and then they got to get up and dance the salsa or the waltz in front of their families in the school’s gymnasium.

“It was really nice,” said Joel Kalishman, whose daughter Claudia was one of the students grooving, “A nice little performance by the kids.”

PS 207 has been holding its end-of-school Memory Day celebrations for the past seven years.

“It’s just a nice way to end the year,” said Kepertis.
