Join us for this year's Passport to Kindergarten Graduation and help us celebrate the children and families who participated in this year's kindergarten readiness program! This year's theme focused on nature exploration in the park so we're welcoming everyone for an end of year celebration at Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark. The Event Ambassador will be stationed by the Playhouse, greeting and welcoming park patrons, helping guide them to the entrance and various stations, and monitoring the entrance of the Playhouse
