Grand Opening Celebration

On May 13, Birchtree's friends, families, and neighbors gathered for a Grand Opening Celebration at our new school building. Members of our board cut the ribbon and then welcomed guests in to see Birchtree's beautiful new classrooms.

Inside, guests watched a video, did family art projects, and viewed displays of student photography.

Outside, we enjoyed carnival games, cotton candy, and some lovely sunny weather.

We concluded the event with a flower planting ceremony. To read a Portsmouth Herald article about the event, click here.
