Valley Stream district 24 graduates turn the page

Valley Stream district 24 sixth graders walked the commencement during their respective graduation ceremonies last month. Families, faculty, and administrators gathered to congratulate the graduates across the district’s three elementary schools: Brooklyn Avenue Elementary, William L. Buck Elementary, and Robert W. Carbonaro Elementary

“I am incredibly proud of our graduating sixth-grade students as they move toward new opportunities in middle school,” said superintendent Don Sturz. “I want to congratulate them for all they have accomplished during their years in their elementary schools in Valley Stream 24.”

“Middle school is a great and exciting adventure. We cannot wait to see what wonderful things they accomplish there,” he further stated. “Thank you to our Valley Stream 24 family, friends, and faculty who were able to join us during these commencement days with love and pride.”

Board of Education president Lisa Pellicane addressed the graduates and their families and friends at each of their respective ceremonies. Principals of each school also addressed their graduating students.
