- . Kindergarten kids are moving on up to rstgrade ·- . . By Judy Wasserman CORRESPONDENT The theater at the Jackson­ Mann Community Center was decorated last Friday with stu­ dent art work, and tiny white lights which gave the annual Jackson Mann Pre-School and Kindergarten graduation a festive atmosphere. The children entertained par­ ents and friends with perfor­ mances of "African Drum Dance," "Waltzing with Bears," and "Five Little Ducks;" received certificates of achievement; and the students, parenL'> and teachers enjoyed a pot luck dinner. Program Director Denise Voto­ lato said Monday that the gradua­ tion, or moving-up ceremonies, are a traditional event, and that Friday's was successfu l with an excellent turnout. During rehearsal the day be­ fore graduation, some kinder­ gartners talked about what they liked and learned in kinder­ garten, what they will miss, and what they wanted to be when they grow up. Matthew Hassenfus, 5, of West Roxbury, learned how to count, and "practice using my fingers." He liked going outside to play, and he wi ll miss "being here in the classroom everyday." Matthew wants to be a base­ ball player when he grows up, and play for the Boston Red Sox. STAIT PHOTO BY MICHAEL MAlj! used at graduation.
