Our kids, our future
Welcome to the Class of 2037!
As these irresistible kids begin their school journey with hope and excitement, take a look at the next generation who will make their mark on our communities, the nation and the world.
This is a magical time to be cherished — and that’s what the K-Kids commemorative section is all about. Enjoy the faces and the enthusiasm of your children as they embark on their school years.
These are photos to look back on and reflect upon for years to come — and to share with your kindergarteners when they reach adulthood! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Superintendents, Principals, Teachers, and Administrative staff whose dedication and support made it possible to highlight every child on these pages. K-Kids would not exist without your unwavering commitment and collaboration. With much excitement, the Herald celebrates this year’s Kindergarten class and introduces everyone to these delightful children. communities,
