South Middle School 2022 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony


On Tuesday, June 21st, South Middle School held its 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony in the Newburgh Free Academy - Main Campus Auditorium. The students entered the auditorium to the cheers of their loved ones in attendance. Emotions were high for families, faculty and students. The 8th grade chorus performed the Star Spangled Banner to get the event underway.  

South Middle School Principal, Chanté Brooks, welcomed the families. She spoke on the resilience and character of her scholars who endured unprecedented times during their middle school careers. Assistant Principal, Arlene Deida-Almodovar, also spoke to the audience and expressed the tremendous pride she feels for the graduating scholars before presenting the Distinguished Academic Excellence Award. 

School Counselor, Kareem Donaldson, briefly spoke on his appreciation for the 8th grade scholars before presenting the Triple C and Sojourner Truth Awards.

The 8th Grade Chorus then performed their graduation class song, Shine Like Stars by Pinkzebra, produced by Mr. Santacroce. The song performance was followed by the receiving of Certificates of Completion signifying the scholars have successfully completed the requirements at South Middle School. 

After each student received their certificate, a video montage was shown highlighting the scholars' 3 years at South Middle School.  The students enjoyed watching their journey on the big screen. There were smiles and even some tears on display throughout the graduating class. The South Middle School class of 2022 certainly earned their way to high school with all they experienced in 3 years.
