Fourth Grade Knighting Ceremony 2024

Regis Fourth Grade Knighting Ceremony

Every fall the Fourth Grade participates in a Knighting Ceremony. This ceremony is a culminating day for our Fourth Grade boys, and it officially marks them as leaders of the Lower School.For weeks, the boys study rigorously about a knight's chivalrous code of conduct, medieval history, the Five Sacred Heart Goals. Each gentleman worked hard to recognize growth opportunities around the Lower School and wrote a persuasive writing piece titled, "I am a Regis Knight."  They read aloud their plan to model one of the Goals of the Sacred Heart. Each promise is a way these Lower School leaders will instill positive change in themselves and others with the goal of building a stronger Lower School community. After sharing their promise, the students are knighted by the Head of School, Mr. Steven Turner. After the ceremony, the boys enjoy a medieval feast.

I am a Regis Knight. I commit myself to social awareness which compels to action. If someone is being bullied or gets hurt, I will stand up for them. I will support them and see if they are OK. I also will model social awareness by choosing to listen when someone is talking and not interrupting. I know my small actions can make a difference. I am a Regis Knight.
