The achievements of Wading River School fifth graders were celebrated at the school’s annual moving up ceremony on June 25.

Principal Lou Parrinello congratulated the students and shared words of wisdom as they head to Prodell Middle School in the fall. Students were encouraged to take advantage of all the opportunities at the middle school and take the lessons they’ve learned in Wading River School with them.

Set goals and reach for the stars, students!
