00:00:00.000 --> 00:03:12.040
--------- There you go. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Glory to God. Amen. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

2
00:03:35.040 --> 00:05:33.759
Happy. Awesome. Good evening. Woo! Thank you. Wait. Check it out. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge of allegiance to the flag of

3
00:05:33.759 --> 00:06:02.880
the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Amen. >> Please sit down. So, welcome everyone. I'm Pete Glass.

4
00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:18.960
I'm the superintendent of schools for the New Yorker public school district. I am very happy to see everyone in attendance today. This is a great event. I have to thank you guys. There's a lot of people to thank for this, correct? uh for the past six years your children have been coming to school and it takes

5
00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:34.960
a village to get these children going on young men and women to where they are today. Uh first of all I'd like to thank Dr. Chris Mllis. Uh she is beaming with pride. These are like all her little children. She says it all the times. She considers them her little projects and

6
00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:51.440
everything and she does a wonderful wonderful job. Um you are not in better hands uh than any of Dr. Chris Smalls. uh the teachers, par professionals, the specialists obviously um we could not do it without them. Nothing good happens without the teachers, the paras and the

7
00:06:51.440 --> 00:07:06.720
specialists that work with your children every day. I'm going to say it again. Nothing good happens without those good people. Okay? So, please thank them, appreciate them. It goes back to that village mentality. We're all in it for them.

8
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:23.199
some behind the scenes people. Miss Oasaka, uh, assistant superintendent. She does the curriculum for the district assessment. Um, so all the programming comes through her, the best practices in the building, the teachers are always working with her. So I appreciate her efforts. Miss Eileen

9
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:39.120
Horn is the director of special services. So all the accommodations and the nuances that children may need, she's the one for that. And Dr. Coochar, the beat business administrator, we know prices are going up. Gas prices are up, milk prices are up, egg prices are up,

10
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:56.879
every price is up, healthc care is up, and we are still trying to find ways to make the budget work. So, I thank Dr. Par as well, the board of education always for their support. Lastly, the parents, you drop your kids off to our schools every single day.

11
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:13.680
You trust us with their safety, but you trust us that we're going to teach them. and you trust us that working with you, we're going to make them better and better and better human beings. And that's what it's all about. We cannot do it without your support and your partnership. My teachers, my principles,

12
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:30.800
my whole staff know that without you, they would not be here today as as they are sitting here. As for the students, I want to make clear this event, this fifth grade moving up ceremony is not a celebration of the fact that you did it and graduated fifth grade. That's that's

13
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:51.760
actually It's all good, man. It's all good. You look good. You're good. I love the boys in their collared shirts. I love the girls in their dresses. Every time I see stuff like this, dress code pops right into my head. You know, not going to happen anytime soon,

14
00:08:51.760 --> 00:09:07.279
but I love it. But for the fifth grade moving up ceremony, it's not a celebration like a graduation because if I'm honest with you, they have to they have to move up, right? It's illegal for them not to graduate fifth grade. It's compulsory education. So really, what

15
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:25.040
this ceremony allows for all of us is just a moment of pause. And this is a great time in our hectic, chaotic lives to just sit here and reflect on these kids not long ago were about knee high and couldn't even tie their shoes. And

16
00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:40.320
now they sit before you today on the verge of young adulthood, on the verge of independence. And that's really what this moment is about. There's milestones in life that let us step back and enjoy the past six years

17
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:56.240
and all the good, all the bad, the laughs, the tears, everything that comes with life. They've all experienced it. So, this is that time later on in high school when they graduate. That's a true graduation. Right now, this is a milestone that should be celebrated. As

18
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:12.399
for middle school, my only words of advice are this. I try to keep the formula as simple as possible. There's two things we have to worry about, right? Academics. If you work hard, if these children just work hard, they will be fine. Just work hard. It's

19
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:28.399
as simple as that. Work as hard as you can. Don't blow things off and you will be fine. As for behavior, just do right by people. If you do right by people and do right by yourself, you're going to be fine. So the formula is be a good person

20
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:44.399
and work hard and you will be successful in anything you do in life. I am proud of you. Thank you for welcoming me um into the Berkeley school. I appreciate it. I know I've laid eyes on all of you. I fit bump a lot of you. Actually gave a presentation to you guys on Teddy

21
00:10:44.399 --> 00:11:13.519
Roosevelt the other day, right? Uh which was reinvigorating for me and you're a great audience. So thank you very much for everything that you do. I'm proud of them. Congratulations. Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for being here. Good morning Mr. Gaso,

22
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:30.000
Miss Odapsta, distinguished members of our board of education, families, teachers, and most importantly, the incredible Berkeley Street School graduating class of 2026. I'm standing here today looking out at this room, and my heart is bursting with

23
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:46.160
love and pride. It feels like just yesterday that you walked through our doors as wideeyed, hesitant little children. And today, today you sit here as leaders of our school, ready to take on the challenges of middle school. I

24
00:11:46.160 --> 00:12:01.120
want you to take a moment and think about how much you have learned and how much you have grown. You didn't just grow in height. You grew in mind, in character, and in heart. You have built a solid foundation effortly. And because

25
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:18.320
of your hard work and perseverance, you have everything you need to be successful. not just as students but as human beings out in the world. You know, when the great philosophers of history first came up with the concept of education, they weren't trying to create

26
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:34.800
a system to prepare people for jobs. They were trying to do something so much more beautiful. They were trying to help us make sense of what it means to be a human being, a member of a species endowed with so many more unique gifts

27
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:50.160
than any other creature on Earth. Gifts of intellect, creativity, empathy, and most importantly, the ability to love deeply. You have been given these gifts and so many more. loving parents, a safe

28
00:12:50.160 --> 00:13:07.279
place to learn, wonderful teachers, and a community that truly loves you. And because you have been given so much, the world expects great things from you. Yesterday, I had the honor of attending an event in this very auditorium that

29
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:22.880
showcased the documentary film our high schoolers had produced. It was such a powerful experience and my heart was filled with joy seeing so many former Berkeley students shine in so many ways. These students chose to be a part of

30
00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:38.560
something out of the ordinary. Something that required tremendous commitment, dedication, and hard work. But what I can tell you is that what they put into the experience pailed in comparison to what was evident they had gotten out of

31
00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:55.600
it. And as an educator, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. I of course immediately thought of you and how you would be sitting on this stage today and how very much I wish these kinds of experiences for you as you

32
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:13.199
continue on your educational journeys. It is a heartbreaking truth that there are millions of children in this world who will never have the opportunity to sit in a classroom to learn to read or to discover their potential. It is a profound injustice and it is incredibly

33
00:14:13.199 --> 00:14:29.760
sad. If you remember only one thing from my talk today, I want it to be this that my greatest wish for you is that you never ever take your education for granted. that you seek out opportunities to challenge yourself to learn and grow

34
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:46.399
each day and that you will do all in your power to use your education to become the beautiful, kind, and accomplished human being our world so desperately needs. So, as we say goodbye today, please remember that your entire

35
00:14:46.399 --> 00:15:02.680
Berkeley Street School family believes in you, that we will miss you, and we will continue to root for you always. Congratulations, fifth graders. I love you. Now go out there and

36
00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:35.199
at this time I'd like to bring up Mr. Le. Good morning everybody. I'm Eric Lakeband and I'm the band and string orchestra instructor at Berkeley School. Um the members of both the band and the

37
00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:53.040
string orchestra meet uh twice a week all through the school year. We meet for small group lessons and uh we have one large group combined rehearsal each week as well. Um, and we have two concerts in the winter time. Uh, as well as two in

38
00:15:53.040 --> 00:16:07.519
the springtime. And just last week, we were here on this stage. Uh, we performed their last concert as a Berkeley School, uh, members of the band or string orchestra, and it went quite well, I must say. Um, now I would like

39
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:23.759
to recognize the members of both of those groups, but I've been asked rather than call their names individually, I'm going to ask each group to stand and be recognized. So, first if the uh members of the string orchestra could stand

40
00:16:23.759 --> 00:17:12.319
please and members of the band, please rise. >> Thank you very much. It was a great year and I wish you much luck next year as well. Thank you. Hello everyone. Um, my name is Casey Acriman and I am the music teacher at

41
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:28.160
Berkeley and I have had the pleasure to teach all of these fifth graders in music class as well as a select group in the choir. Today, I would like to recognize the group of fifth graders that have participated in the choir this year. Every week of the school year,

42
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:43.840
these students met after school to work on their vocal techniques and learn challenging repertoire in preparation to perform together. They were able to master a diverse range of music, including songs utilizing two-part harmony and songs in various languages.

43
00:17:43.840 --> 00:18:00.480
Their dedication and teamwork have truly shown through each rehearsal and performance. These talented fifth graders were able to put on two amazing concerts this year, one in the winter and one just last week. I am so proud of all they have accomplished and I am beyond

44
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:15.440
honored that these students have shared their love of singing with me over the past year. As they move ahead to middle school, I hope they embrace their passion for singing and create creating music together. I would now like to ask all of the fifth graders who

45
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:50.559
participated in the choir this year to please stand. You may be seated. Next, the fifth graders will present their kindergarten through 2 grade memories. As we celebrate our fifth grade moving up ceremony, we think back to our dream.

46
00:18:50.559 --> 00:19:14.559
Kindergarten looked very different because we started school during the co 19 pandemic. We learn from home on Chromebooks, join classes on Google Meet, and even learn our ABCs through a screen. We made special memories. We had a Q&

47
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:35.120
wedding, dressed up as different letters of the alphabet, set leprechaun traps, and watched chicks hatch. Our kindergarten year may have been unusual, but it was full of fun, learning, and unforgettable moments. Before we knew it, we were in first

48
00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:57.120
grade. We looked forward to flashlight Fridays when reading became an adventure and Friday dance parties that filled our classroom with energy and laughter. We also made great memories being chosen as star student of the week, participating in show and tell, and

49
00:19:57.120 --> 00:20:17.120
caring for class pets like Bluey Rainbow. First grade was a full of fun, learning, and exciting experiences. Second grade was a unique year as we wore masks, adjusted to new routines, and learned to make the best of every day. We still found plenty of reasons to

50
00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:35.360
smile. From Friday dance parties to celebrating our successes together. >> One of our favorite memories was watching caterpillars transform into butterflies and then releasing them outside. We also enjoyed Read Across America Week, the art show, and the

51
00:20:35.360 --> 00:21:10.880
excitement of getting a new Smartboard. We are so grateful to our kindergarten, first and second grade teachers for all their support and encouragement. Good morning everyone, families, friends, teachers, and of course the amazing fifth grade class. My name is

52
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:28.080
Miss Andrews and I have the privilege of working with the fifth grade reach students. REACH stands for reaching excellence through academic challenge. Today I am here to celebrate a truly outstanding group of learners. Over the past year, you have shown incredible

53
00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:44.799
curiosity, creativity, and determination. You didn't just learn. You explored, discovered, questioned, and created. Each unit challenged you to think in new ways, and you rose to every challenge with enthusiasm and imagination.

54
00:21:44.799 --> 00:22:01.760
I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey we've shared this year. In our first unit, you became aviation engineers and historians. You explored the fascinating world of aviation by learning about both past and present aircrafts, exploring airplanes

55
00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:19.039
and helicopters. You investigated the science behind flight. Most importantly, you put your knowledge into action by designing and building your own aircrafts, testing your ideas, and learning through both successes and setbacks. In our second unit, all around

56
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:37.120
the world, you became global explorers. You researched countries from across the globe and learned about their cultures, customs, traditions, currencies, and daily life. Through your hard work and creativity, you transformed the room into a window to the world. You proudly

57
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:52.000
showcased this to the school community, teaching all the students at Berkeley about the unique characteristics that make each country special while gaining a deeper appreciation for the diversity that exists around us. And finally, in

58
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:08.640
our last unit, you became CSI classroom scene investigators. You stepped into the role of detectives and forensic scientists as you learned how evidence can help solve mysteries. You explored fingerprints, footprints, invisible ink,

59
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:24.880
and ink splatter analysis. Through hands-on experiments and careful observation, you learned the importance of attention to detail, critical thinking, and teamwork while working to crack each case. Each one of you has grown in more ways than I can count.

60
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:41.919
You've learned to ask big questions, take smart, smart risks, and support one another along the way. That's the true spirit of Reach program. At this time, we would like to recognize all the fifth grade students who participated in REACH. Would all Reach students please

61
00:23:41.919 --> 00:24:05.360
rise and be recognized? To the families, thank you for cheering them on, driving them extra early to school, listening to their ideas, and always believing in them. And to our brilliant young students, keep exploring, keep imagining, and most of

62
00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:33.360
all, keep being you. You are not just ready for middle school, you are ready for the world. Thank you and congratulations. Hello everyone. My name is Megan Lman and I am this year's student council advisor. The Berkeley Street student council is a group of more than 30

63
00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:49.679
students who were nominated by their peers and teachers for demonstrating outstanding leadership qualities. Throughout the year, these students have made a positive impact on our school community by participating in numerous events such as the turkey trot and holiday card drive, leading our weekly

64
00:24:49.679 --> 00:25:06.559
recycling program, and serving as role models and classroom leaders each day. Their dedication, responsibility, and commitment to helping others have made Berkeley Street a better place for everyone. It is my honor to recognize this exceptional group of students and wish them continued success as they move

65
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:45.279
on to middle school. Will the Berkeley Street Student Council members please stand? Congratulations to the Street Council. Please take your seats. Good morning everyone. My name is still Miss Andrews and I'm Mr.

66
00:25:45.279 --> 00:26:01.039
>> and we run the Spirit Club at Berkeley Street School. We would like to recognize the fifth grade students who participated in spirit club for the 2025 2026 school year. The spirit club members helped to organize and advertise for the upcoming events to build school

67
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:17.120
spirit and give back to our community. This year, the spirit club wrote letters to veterans, sponsored a grade level color contest, distributed Valentine grams throughout the school, and sponsored other friendly contests such as Green Day for St. Patrick's Day and

68
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:43.600
Red, White, and Blue Day for Memorial Day. At this time, we would like to recognize all of the fifth grade students who participated in spirit club. Would all spirit club members please rise and be recognized. Thank you so much to all of the spirit

69
00:26:43.600 --> 00:27:05.679
club members for your hard work, service, and positive attitude this year. We wish you and the entire fifth grade class all the best as you journey into middle school. It is also our pleasure to be here today to recognize the fifth grade students

70
00:27:05.679 --> 00:27:21.760
who participated in safety patrol during the 2025 2026 school year. Safety patrol is an exciting opportunity for all fifth graders and it comes with a great deal of responsibility. Our safety patrol members are leaders within

71
00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:37.279
our school community. They help ensure that our younger students stay safe in the hallways before and after school. They serve as role models, demonstrating what it means to be respectful, responsible, and trustworthy. Our safety

72
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:53.840
patrol members are always willing to go above and beyond when help is needed. They are often asked to take on additional responsibilities throughout the school, and this year they successfully completed every task we asked of them. Whether it was assisting students, supporting staff, or helping

73
00:27:53.840 --> 00:28:09.840
maintain a safe and positive environment, they have consistently risen to the occasion. We are truly grateful for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to our school community. At this time, we would like to recognize all of the fifth graders who

74
00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:36.799
participated in safety patrol this year. Would all safety patrol members please rise and be recognized. You may be seated. >> Thank you for your dedication and service throughout this school year. Your leadership and positive example

75
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:58.360
have made a difference in our school. We wish all of the fifth graders the very best as they begin the next chapter of their educational journey in middle school. Thank you. Now we welcome the students to share the third through fifth grade memories.

76
00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:33.360
Third grade was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories. We took the NJSLA for the first time, learned cursive, completed social studies project, and celebrated our hard work with ice cream. We also enjoyed special moments like

77
00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:51.960
bouncing the ball 10,000 times with Officer Kevin, participating in March Madness, celebrating birthdays, and looking forward to flash Friday. Our teachers made learning fun with songs, dancing, and that helped make a year.

78
00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:14.960
Corporate was filled with creativity, hands-on learning, and fun memories. We designed math board games, launch paper airplanes, and celebrated special moments with our teachers. One of the highlights of the year was our trip to the Franklin Mineral Museum,

79
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:34.960
where we searched for rocks and gems to bring home. We also enjoyed field day, DJ night, and the excitement of the last day of school. Fourth grade gave us many memories that will stay with us for years to come. As we reflect on fifth grade, it's hard to believe how quickly the year has

80
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:55.200
flown by. It was filled with exciting experiences, special events, and memories we will carry with us to middle school. We enjoyed activities like balloon over Berkeley, winter wonderland, March Madness, field day, theme days, and our kickball tournament. Our field trips to

81
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:12.640
Powerhouse Studios, the Moors Museum, and DEO were the highlights of the year. Our teachers made fifth grade unforgettable with creative classroom experiences, fun traditions, and plenty of laughter. These memories will stay

82
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:33.200
with us long after we leave Berkeley. As we leave Berkeley and begin our middle school journey, we do so with gratitude, pride, and memories that will last a lifetime. Today, we celebrate not only the end of elementary school, but also the beginning of an exciting new

83
00:31:33.200 --> 00:32:05.360
chapter. We are ready for what comes next and we'll always remember the experiences that brought us here. Hello, it's me again, Miss Leman. Um, I'm here to present the four first award for the ceremony. Um, Berky the Bulldog was officially named during the 2024

90
00:34:27.839 --> 00:35:02.880
the choir, this student brings enthusiasm and commitment to every rehearsal and performance. I am proud to honor Alvin Thomas. Good morning everybody. Uh my name is Senora Kel and I have had

91
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:18.160
the pleasure to be your Spanish teacher for the past four years. Today I would like to present a special award to the Estante Estia or our Spanish student of the year. Uh this student is a role model in her Spanish class. This student

92
00:35:18.160 --> 00:35:33.839
takes pride in sharing the culture of her family's home country which is Colombia with her classmates and enjoys helping others learn the Spanish language. Her enthusiasm, kindness, and willingness to share her knowledge made her class a better place for everyone.

93
00:35:33.839 --> 00:36:16.320
Congratulations, Luna Gerald. Hello. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. Only once a year, I usually say we clean up pretty well. And for those of you who are wearing sneakers and have PE, we get some extra credit. So, kudos to you. I'm

94
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:31.520
really teasing, but So, okay. So, I'm here to present the outstanding PE award that goes to two individuals. Um, throughout the year, these students have exhibited a physically healthy and active lifestyle both during and outside

95
00:36:31.520 --> 00:36:47.200
of school. They've also demonstrated responsible personal and social behavior, which includes good sportsmanship, cooperation, participation, effort, attitude, and performance.

96
00:36:47.200 --> 00:37:17.240
They also received outstanding in three of the marking periods. This year's outstanding PE student award recipients are Olivia Kakalooki and dress and sneakers and Miles Anderson.

97
00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:53.280
Thank you so much. Good luck to you all. Remember, take care of your body. You only have one. Enjoy. Good morning. My name is Kasa Inken and I'm the president of the Junior Women's Club of River Edge, Oregon, and New Milford. Um, the Junior Women's Club

98
00:37:53.280 --> 00:38:09.960
gives back to our community through different ways. And today we're honoring the students selected by the fifth grade teachers for the most improved student award. I'm happy to announce that this year's winner is Selma Henriquez. Congratulations

99
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:43.440
and thank you. >> Okay, we have reached a very special moment in our ceremony, the presentation of the principal award. Um, before announcing this year's recipients, I'd like to share a little bit about what this award truly represents and the

100
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:59.599
thoughtful process behind it. Each year, our fifth grade teachers come together to deeply discuss and reflect upon every single student in the graduating class to choose the recipient of this reward of this award. I will tell you that this

101
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:15.520
year the teachers shared with me that it was an especially difficult task. We are blessed with an incredible group of graduates and there were so many worthy candidates to consider. To make this decision, the fifth grade deliberated

102
00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:31.359
extensively and gathered valuable input from other teachers throughout this school who have watched our beautiful children grow over the years. Ultimately, they choose just one boy and one girl who consistently exemplify all

103
00:39:31.359 --> 00:39:47.200
the characteristics we celebrate at our citizens assemblies each year. Qualities like kindness, integrity, responsibility, empathy, cooperation, and leadership. It is quite an honor to be chosen for this

104
00:39:47.200 --> 00:40:02.400
award as it speaks volumes about a young person's character. These two individuals have proven themselves over the years to be truly exemplary Berkeley Street School students. And it is now my

105
00:40:02.400 --> 00:41:07.680
absolute honor to acknowledge Ember Kim. Okay. And our principal's award goes to Dylan Leto. Okay, now we're going to get ready for

106
00:41:07.680 --> 00:42:38.200
the certificates of promotion. Let it burn. Good morning. I'm Mrs. Burns. And I'm Mrs. Mulenberg. 5T, please. Alejandro Alvarez, >> Sophia Kubia, >> Peter Eric,

4
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:30.080
Give me one second. Thank you for being here today. Appreciate it. We got balcony filled up pretty much. Love the attendance. Um, I'm going to lead this off, you know, obviously welcome everybody, but I I have a lot of thank yous because it is

5
00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:46.720
not easy. raising kids on your ends. Speaking as a parent, it's difficult to raise kids nowadays. It's also gets more difficult to teach kids nowadays, but together we got it. So, I have a lot of thanks. Uh, first of all, thank you to Mrs. Tori. Uh, she's actually beaming

6
00:04:46.720 --> 00:05:02.000
with pride over there. She hasn't stopped smiling. Uh, and that's a natural smile. That's a big smile. Uh, which I appreciate. She takes a lot of pride in this. Uh, she definitely cares about her children. She knows them by name. Every single one by name. uh if I ask her about a student, she can give me

7
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:17.919
a little bio right away, which is always appreciated and tells me a lot. Obviously, thank you to the teachers, par professionals, support staff, case managers, uh specialists, the team that it takes to educate these children and

8
00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:33.120
raise them the right way. Uh without good teachers, nothing good happens. I'm going to say that again. Without good teachers and support staff, nothing good happens. It all starts in the classrooms. It all starts, you know, on that ground level with these children.

9
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:48.080
So, I thank you, teachers, support, staff, cars, everybody. Um, some behind thes scenes people that maybe don't see every day. Miss Odasa does our as our assistant superintendent. She does our curriculum, our professional development, our assessment. So, she makes sure everything is, you know,

10
00:05:48.080 --> 00:06:05.039
ticking in the classroom. Uh, we have Miss Miss Eileen Horn. She is our director of special services. So all the accommodation and nuances of education that some of our students need, she is behind the scenes working with the case managers and teachers. And then Dr. Stephanie Cuchar. Listen, we know

11
00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:20.800
budgets are tight. The cost of eggs, milk, gas, healthcare, all are going up. We are trying to remain consistent with our program and experience for the kids. So I thank Dr. Cuchar, our business administrator, for making that happen. I thank the board of education for their

12
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:36.479
just continued support. Um, they are volunteers, so please understand that. But they take time out of the day. They communicate with me all the time. They're at the board meetings asking me a thousand questions, which is a great thing. I appreciate it because we're making sure that we're running this district with transparency and

13
00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:54.319
efficiency for your children. Um, obviously I want to thank your parents. Every day hopefully every day you're dropping your children off at school, right? I got absenteeism. We don't want that. So every day drop your kids off at school. Every day I'm always going to make pitches for attendance which as a

14
00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:10.720
side note is off the cuff give school this is Tori parents thank you very much our chronic absenteeism rate dropped you cut it in half where was it like 6% I think we we're at like last week we're at 2% so that is unbelievable give

15
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:30.479
yourself a round of applause that being said I'm going to be very honest don't blow it the next couple the days. If you're hovering around 16, 17 averages, don't get to 18. But anyway, thank you for entrusting your children to us.

16
00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:46.319
We know when you drop them off, the number one priority is to keep them safe, which that is always our number one priority, but it's also academics and to instill in them the same model behavior that you are doing at home here. And we have to work together. So

17
00:07:46.319 --> 00:08:02.720
without your support, the teachers administration I know we cannot do without you. That partnership is imperative. So thank you. Now as for the students listen this is like a a promotion we call it's not a graduation in fifth grade. You cannot drop out of school.

18
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:20.080
It's illegal. Your family would be arrested and fined for disorderly conduct actually. So it's a felony. So you have this has to happen for you. So this is not about you graduating and going to sixth grade necessarily. This is more for all of us to take time in

19
00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:37.200
our hectic, busy, crazy lives to step back and understand and take in this moment about how far they have come. These events are these events are for all of us to appreciate that these kids I don't know five six years ago were

20
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:54.399
knee high and couldn't tie shoes. And now look at them. All dressed up. I wish they were dressed up every day. All dressed up. Young men and women ready to go to sixth grade. And they've come so far. They all have their individual personalities, their likes, dislikes.

21
00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:10.160
They're certainly opinionated. And they've come a long way. So that is what this is about. It's about us taking a moment to just reflect on the past six years. I've had four kids of my own. I have no more going through fifth grade. I have a seventh grader that's going to

22
00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:27.760
be an eighth grader. And so I've learned after four to reflect and be as patient as possible. And I hope you do the same. So I I'm very proud of them. So for middle school, my only advice is this, and I try to keep it simple.

23
00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:42.800
Be a good person and do well at school. To do well at school, if you work hard, you're going to be fine. Just work hard, you will be fine. As for being a good person, just do right by people. If they can just be good people that work hard, they will be

24
00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:58.240
successful in middle school. They'll be successful in high school, post high school. They will be great parents. They'll be great husbands and wives. Just be good and work hard and you'll be fine. So, congratulations to all of you.

25
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:14.079
I'm very proud of you. Thank you for accepting me, you know, into the school. Every time I see you, you're always fistbumping me and saying hi and giving me head nods and everything else. So, I appreciate it. Uh, please over the summer be safe and listen to your parents always. They are still smarter

26
00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:45.360
than you. Yes, you're going to sixth grade. They are wiser and smarter than you take their advice. So, thank you everybody. Thank you for being here. Good morning everyone. Good morning to our board of education members, Mr. Gasso,

27
00:10:45.360 --> 00:11:03.279
Miss Odapsta, our dedicated staff, our proud families, and the main event, our fifth graders. Welcome to the BF Gibbs moving up ceremony. We are here today to mark the end of one fantastic era and the

28
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:19.680
beginning of another. To all the parents and the guardians here today in the audience, thank you for partnering with us and pouring so much love and encouragement into these students. and to our teachers and staff, thank you for

29
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:36.399
your passion, your hard work, and for making BF Gibbs a place where students can thrive. So, class of 2026, bittersweet is the best word to describe how your families and our staff feels

30
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:53.440
today. It's really hard to say goodbye to a group that has brought so much life to our school. Yet, we are all incredibly eager to watch you take on the world in middle school and beyond.

31
00:11:53.440 --> 00:12:14.000
So, as I look out at you here on stage, I agree with Mr. Galato. You all look really nice. I see a group defined by compassion, intelligence, and a great sense of humor. In fact, you might be moving up

32
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:28.160
to middle school, but you've actually spent the last year teaching me a few things. Thanks to you, I now know the secret meaning behind 67 and 41. Actually, that's thanks to the entire school. I finally understand what it

33
00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:46.320
truly means to let someone cook. And I just recently during our staff versus fifthball kickball game, which I won't mention the scores, um, but I was properly schooled on how to do the scuba, even if I lowkey lost about 1,000

34
00:12:46.320 --> 00:13:05.680
aura points attempting it. But beyond the pop culture and the dance movement, you taught me things that are far more important. You have taught me and our staff how to stay grounded, how to lock in, and how to actively listen.

35
00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:23.760
You've provided a daily beautiful reminder what our kids need the most from us, the adults, is to slow down, to be fully present, and to guide them. You don't need us to step in and fix every

36
00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:41.760
problem for you. even if you want us to. You just need us to show you the way so that you can figure it out on your own. And you did figure it out and you'll continue figuring it out. You've faced unique challenges over the fast past few

37
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:59.040
years. You've solved conflicts with maturity and you learn that true success comes from picking yourself up after a fall. You've discovered, and I know I say this all the time, that when we know better, then we must do better. And you

38
00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:15.440
have consistently chosen to do better. So hold on to the friendships you've built here. And remember the lessons learned in the classroom. Remember that elementary school was just your launching pad. The future is waiting for

39
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:30.480
you. And we already know that you're going to achieve great things because we've watched you do it every day. Celebrate how far you've come. Trust the path ahead of you and remember that you always have a home at BF Gibbs

40
00:14:30.480 --> 00:15:18.160
Elementary School. Congratulations. Uh, good morning. Um, I'm Eric Legband and I am the string orchestra and band instructor at Gibbs. Excuse me. Um the students in the band and the

41
00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:34.480
string orchestra met were supposed to meet uh twice a week. Um we would meet uh for private lessons, small group lessons and then again we would uh uh meet for large uh group rehearsals once a week also. They took

42
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:50.720
time out from their lunch recess to do that. So that shows dedication. Um we had two concerts uh in the winter this year. We also had a a spring concert uh last week. We were here on stage uh

43
00:15:50.720 --> 00:16:07.680
performing and also uh they performed at the uh at Gibbs as well for the students. Um now instead of calling each of you individually this year, I'm going to ask all the members of the string orchestra first to rise and be recognized. So string orchestra rise.

44
00:16:07.680 --> 00:17:04.079
Yes. receiver and the band. Fifth grade band riseth grade. Thank you. I'd like to introduce Mr. Hwell. Hey everybody, how y'all doing today?

45
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:21.120
>> Uh, my name is Mr. Hollowwell. You can call me Mr. page. As all my other students do, I am the new choir director and general music teacher at Gibbs. Some of you have met with me either for the concerts that we've had this year or at back to school night. I believe that's

46
00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:41.039
when we've only met. Um, being with these students has been a new experience for me. Not not just because I've been teaching in other parts of the state, but it's seeing the camaraderie involved. >> And that's not just shown when I'm

47
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:58.720
teaching you during our general music classes, but it's also outside of that, working with you for our choir, seeing you interact with one another both in and outside the classroom, seeing the parent involvement as well.

48
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:13.840
Music is a powerful means of doing so, binding communities and people together regardless of who we are or where we come from or what we believe in. And I see that with your students.

49
00:18:13.840 --> 00:18:40.640
Could I ask the choir members, whether you've been involved all year long or have just been involved in one of our performances, to please stand up? You've shown dedication, courage, and heart in not just being involved in the music program, but also representing

50
00:18:40.640 --> 00:19:06.960
yourselves, your class, and your community. Can I also ask all the students who have had music this year to please rise? all the original. It has been an honor to work with you for my first year here and my only

51
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:23.760
regret that I have is that this is the only year I get to teach you. I look forward to seeing you in your other concerts in middle school and high school. And I wish you all a long and wonderful musical career.

52
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:59.280
Thank you all so much. And now we would like to introduce Miss Christina Kusmano for the phys department. >> Um, good morning. administration, faculty, staff, parents, and most importantly, our class of 2026.

53
00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:15.280
Um, again, my name is Miss Kousmano. I'm the physical education teacher at BF Gibbs Elementary School. And I want to start off by saying that Mr. Marion and I both wish you um the best of luck next year. It's been a pleasure to be your PE teacher, and we're going to miss you all

54
00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:31.200
so much. Um, I'm honored to be standing here today um to recognize the 2026 physical education awards recognizing and celebrating two hardworking students who excelled in the following areas throughout the school year in PE.

55
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:48.559
Preparation, participation, effort, cooperation, and attitude. These students demonstrated exceptional leadership skills by setting a good example for their classmates. They came prepared for every single class, which is a big deal since Crocs are so in. Um,

56
00:20:48.559 --> 00:21:05.679
they always followed class rules and they always put forth their best effort no matter which skill or activity was being taught. Their exemplary participation was certainly a result of their positive attitudes, hard work, and dedication to really mastering these um

57
00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:22.960
skills. While smiling ear to ear, their cooperation and attentiveness to content were evident to everybody. And not only were they always eager to volunteer by sharing their answers, their ideas, and their creativity, but they also remained humble and active listeners to their

58
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:40.159
peers. In addition, they exhibited a high level of physical and mental drive and competitiveness while maintaining a positive attitude even when faced with challenging tasks. These students consistently practice good sportsmanship by using their energy and enthusiasm to

59
00:21:40.159 --> 00:21:56.880
include and encourage their classmates. We couldn't be prouder of you students. When your name is called, please stand and remain standing until both names have been announced. You'll receive your award when you return to school. The 2026 physical education recipients

60
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:25.039
are Deina Dubnath and Nathan Scurvani. Thank you. We wish you the best of luck at David E. Owens Middle School. You work so hard for this moment. enjoy it and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way. I would now like to welcome

61
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:52.159
Miss Kenjian up to the podium. Good morning, BFG School family. Miss Bellis and I are honored to celebrate our 2025 2026 safety patrol. These students are truly the heart of our school community. Every morning and

62
00:22:52.159 --> 00:23:08.799

78
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:23.279
recipient for the principal award honor was exceptionally difficult as there are many of you who truly embody the values that we hold here at BF Gibbs Elementary School. You have shown us, all of you

79
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:38.720
have shown us what it means to have a curious mind, a kind heart, and a positive attitude. Among an outstanding field of peers, one particular student consistently went

80
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:55.360
above and beyond. The principal award goes to a student who has excelled in academics, shown exceptional leadership, and has made a lasting positive impact on our school community. Throughout this

81
00:29:55.360 --> 00:30:11.919
student's time at Gibbs, he has impressed everyone with his dedication to learning. He always participates actively in class, asking thoughtful questions and always encouraging his classmates. But what truly sets him

82
00:30:11.919 --> 00:30:27.440
apart is his deep commitment to helping others and building a strong community around him. He is the kind of student who looks out for everyone. Whether he is welcoming a new classmate, offering

83
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:43.600
to support a peer who is struggling, or bringing people together, he understands that we are at our best when we lift each other up. He doesn't just strive for his own success, but he works to ensure that those around him succeed,

84
00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:59.200
too. He is a true friend to others, always ready to lend a helping hand and uplift the spirits of everyone in our school. His positive attitude and his inclusive nature naturally and truly

85
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:45.440
brighten every room he enters. So, it is my esteemed pleasure to present this year's principal award to Luca Mer. Happy holiday. Woohoo. Woohoo.
