Sixty-nine fifth graders participated in Dogwood Elementary's Moving Up ceremony Friday morning. Principal Renee Carpenter congratulated the students as they looked back upon their years at Dogwood, and ahead to next year at Nesaquake Middle School.
"As you continue to learn and grow, the challenge of new experiences will come to you," Principal Carpenter said to the students. "Take a look around this room and look out into this audience. Looking back at you are the very people that will be there to love you through the hard times and celebrate your achievements along the way."
SCSD Superintendent Dr. Mark Secaur and Nesaquake Middle School Principal, Dan McCabe were also on hand to congratulate the new graduates.
“Take advantage of all the opportunities that exist before you," Dr. Secaur told the students. "Set goals and strive to meet them. Learn from your mistakes….and most importantly be kind to others.”
Congratulations to our students and families!
