Edgewood and Fox Meadow Fifth Graders Spread Their Wings

On the blistering hot, sunny morning of June 20th 2024, three 5th grade classes of Edgewood Elementary had their moving-up ceremony. The ceremony was held in the outdoor courtyard and was garnished with a beautiful balloon backdrop. The graduating students walked out of the school to the hum of Pomp and Circumstance. The class then recited the pledge of allegiance before taking their seats to sing their alma mater "Edgewood School Song". The fifth graders were welcomed by Principal Karen Eldon. Afterward, the class sang "For Just a Little While" and "Living What I Believe", led by music teacher, Ms. Giustino.

Assistant Principal, Lauren Drapek welcomed the students by class to commence the graduation for the Class of 2024. Each of the fifth-grade teachers (Mr. DelMonaco, Mrs. Pinto, and Mrs. Mraz) then took pictures with their respective classes. Fifth grade Aides (Mrs Rotiker, Mrs Shkreli, and Ms Garvin) were also present in the audience. A breakfast was held after the commencement, with groups gathering for pictures at balloon photo stations. Congratulations to the Edgewood Class of 2024! This is not goodbye; remember your time at Edgewood, and best wishes as you fly onwards and upwards to Scarsdale Middle School!

Fox Meadow Elementary School Moving Up Ceremony

On Thursday, June 20, Fox Meadow celebrated their 5th grade students with a beautiful ceremony in the school gym. The 5th graders sang Fly Away Home by PinkZebra which is a very moving song about exploring the world but staying connected and always knowing one can return home. Our students heard encouraging words from Principal Melissa Feinberg, Assistant Principal Trish Iasiello, and PTA Co-Presidents, Jeannie Adashek and Leena Gyftopoulos.

The diplomas were handed out by the 5th grade teachers, Sarah Berger, Daniel Brodsky, and Susan Gray. Everyone in attendance enjoyed watching the 5th grade montage which included memories spanning Kindergarten through 5th grade. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the 5th graders walked through the halls and enjoyed a final clap out from the rest of the school.

A beautiful day in the Meadow!
