Filled with excitement and pride, sixth-graders throughout the Massapequa School District transitioned from elementary to middle school during moving-up ceremonies that showcased their achievements.
Principals and district administrators offered words of praise about student accomplishments and advice on what to expect in the middle school, while student speakers shared stories of their fondest memories and lessons they learned from their teachers.
Some ceremonies also featured slideshows that captured memories of the students’ elementary years as well as talented musical performances.
In addition to their moving-up certificates, students received a host of awards, including the Perfect Attendance Award, the President’s Award for Educational Excellence and the President’s Award for Educational Achievement.
