A magnificent class of sixth graders was honored at the Woodhull Intermediate School moving up ceremony on the lower athletic field. Parents, grandparents and siblings turned out for the affair, which saluted the Class of 2019.
Woodhull Student Council Vice President Nicholas Plachta kicked off the ceremony by leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. The sixth grade chorus sang the “Star Spangled Banner.” The group later performed Charlie Puth’s “One Call Away.”
