San Jose Elementary is proudly inviting former Panda students from the Class of 2026 to return home for a special celebration of achievement, perseverance, and Panda pride.
Whether graduating from high school or college, alumni are encouraged to join San Jose Elementary’s annual Panda Peace Out Parade on Tuesday, May 26th at 2pm. Graduates are asked to arrive by 1:45 PM wearing their cap and gown, along with any cords, medals, stoles, or sashes that represent their accomplishments.
At San Jose Elementary, we believe in celebrating the full journey of our students. Watching former students return as graduates is a powerful reminder to our current Pandas that hard work and determination can lead to incredible opportunities.
“This event is about more than graduation,” said Principal Gomez. “It is about showing our current students what is possible. When our students see former Pandas return in their caps and gowns, they begin to envision their own future success. It inspires hope and pride throughout our school community.”
San Jose Elementary welcomes graduates from all pathways. Every accomplishment matters, and every graduate represents the strength and spirit of the Panda family. Graduates who attended San Jose Elementary are encouraged to spread the word and reconnect with classmates to join the celebration.
Once a Panda, always a Panda.
Go Pandas! 🐼🎓
