School principal Francisca Ulloa said they wanted to hold the ceremony on Monday, June 15, but were informed on Thursday night that the designated last day for public schools was Friday.
Ulloa said they had to inform all the parents about the change of schedule.
“We went house-to house since most of them live just around the village. Everybody came,” she said.
Acting Associate Commissioner for Administrative Services Tim Thornburgh led the presentation of awards during the ceremony.
