POMFRET — Amanda DeMaire and Kayla DeMaire of Pomfret Center not only graduated with master’s degrees May 14, 2022, they were asked to lead the procession as the Grand Student Marshals for the 2022 graduation ceremony at Eastern Connecticut State University.
The sisters, daughters of Kevin and Cindy DeMaire, received master’s in early childhood education and certification in pre-K through K special education (they are both certified to teach Pre-k through 3rd grade).
Former graduates of Woodstock Academy, they each had a grade point average of 4.0.
They were both asked to lead the procession as the Grand Student Marshals for the 2022 graduating ceremony. This is the first time that Eastern has had sisters be the Grand Student Marshals at a graduating ceremony.
Amanda and Kayla said they made lifelong friendships with other aspiring teachers and are so grateful to have gone through this educational journey with them.
