On Thursday, June 14, family and friends gathered in the St. Philip’s Parish House to celebrate the accomplishments of nine 4-year-old “Ducks” who graduated from nursery school and will become kindergartners in the fall. Special guest speakers were Stephanie Impellittiere, principal of the Garrison Union Free School District, and the Rev. Francis Geer, rector of St. Philip’s Church. ​

St. Philip’s Nursery School, a program of St. Philip’s Church since 1960, presents a morning preschool program for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds. In addition to their play-based curriculum, St. Philip’s Nursery School offers music and movement, science and Spanish.
