This evening, the Berlin Middle High School held its 8th Grade Moving On Ceremony on the upper soccer field, with a rolling vista of Berlin in the background. It was a beautiful evening to celebrate the Class of 2030, and wonderfully coordinated by 8th Grade Teachers Mrs. Amanda Hayes and Ms. Mikaela Marbot.
The 8th Grade Chorus performed under the direction of Mrs. Gretchen Modesitt, and middle school band members played for those gathered under the direction of Mrs. Jessica Gould.
BMHS Principal David Bernsley and BCSD Superintendent Ken Rizzo were in attendance as well to celebrate and honor the 8th-grade Mountaineers’ achievement.
The eighth-grade team would like to thank everyone who helped make this ceremony a memorable occasion. We could not have done it without you and all your hard work. We would also like to give a special thanks to parents, guardians, families, and friends of our eighth-grade students. You devote your time, wisdom, and resources to make our students’ lives more successful. It has been a wonderful year working with these students, and we appreciate all your encouragement and support throughout the school year. – Mrs. Hayes, Ms. Marbot, Mr. Connolly, Mr. Cornell, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Thibeau, Ms. Day, Ms. DeCelle, Mrs. Gould, Mrs. Modesitt, Mrs. Wetmore, Mrs. Bershwinger, Mrs. Honsinger, and Mr. Weaver.
