Each year, Nantucket's preschools and private elementary schools celebrate their own end-of-year activities. Below are some photos and brief descriptions of those events from 2009. If you have photos from end-of-the-year preschool or private-school activities you'd like us to post, e-mail them to us by clicking here. We will add as many as we can, but please be patient.
