Every June, teachers and families come together to celebrate an exciting milestone as they watch their students graduate and take the next step in their educational journey. This year, ADAPT Community Network had the pleasure of celebrating our preschool and school-age graduates from the Class of 2026.
Families and friends from across the city gathered to celebrate each student’s hard work, growth, and accomplishments. Every graduation ceremony reflected the creativity and dedication of our students and teachers, featuring unique themes that transformed each celebration.
From safari adventures and underwater wonderlands to racecar fun, each graduating class put on special performances that showcased what they had learned throughout the year. Each student also received a diploma, marking an important milestone in their journey at ADAPT.
Chief Executive Officer Jenna Mandell-Ricci also joined the celebrations and shared words of encouragement for the Class of 2026.
“Milestones that may have felt impossible when the school year started are now part of who they are and a steppingstone to achieve even more,” she shared. “We are here to support your child and your family no matter where your journey takes you.”
These celebrations would not have been possible without the dedication of our incredible administrators, teachers, and families, whose unwavering support helps our students thrive. We also extend our sincere gratitude to all the special guests who joined us in recognizing the achievements of the Class of 2026.
Thank you to Community Liaison Paul Matrecano, Senator Nathalia Fernandez, Senator Erik Bottcher, Council Member Gale Brewer, Chief of Education Services Peter Anzalone, Board Member Kelly Kaminski, and Chief Executive Officer Jenna Mandell-Ricci for helping make these celebrations so special.
