On to middle school!

Student recites Pledge of Allegiance into a microphone while a classmate and principal look on

Fifth-graders at the Albany International Center (AIC) and Dual-Language Program welcomed guests at their moving-up ceremony in seven languages!

The students of Parwaiz Faizy of AIC and Djemila Stevens of Dual also received a slew of awards before being awarded their moving-up certificates. They finished off with an ice cream social for all in the cafeteria.

They’re not in elementary school anymore … and they will be members of the Albany High School Class of 2030!

Check out a Facebook photo album from the moving-up ceremony. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos linked in the highlighted text.
