The information below remains unchanged for archival purposes.

The Learning First Alliance (LFA) and our partners nationwide are coming together from May 20 through June 21, 2024, to celebrate students moving onto the next phase of their academic journey or the next phase of their lives. At the same time, we’re spotlighting the incredible educators and school staff who are preparing them for the future.

This May and June, public school students from across the nation will celebrate significant milestones in the form of graduation and promotions to the next grade level. These are important transitions in a student’s life. It’s true whether a student is moving from pre-K to elementary school, elementary to middle school, or high school to career, college, trade school, or the military. Kids are the future of our communities and our nation.

When we celebrate graduation and grade promotions, we celebrate our kids, their hard work, and their accomplishments, and we reinforce the incredible importance of education.
