The Northside Elementary 2025 Moving-Up Ceremony was a heartwarming celebration of achievements and new beginnings. Students, teachers, and families gathered in the brightly decorated auditorium, which was filled with excitement and anticipation for the future.

The ceremony began with a heartfelt welcome from Principal Dr. Christopher Peterson, who praised the students for their hard work and resilience. These students were in Kindergarten when the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in school closures and a shift to virtual learning. Highlights of the event included a touching slideshow of memories from their time at Northside, capturing moments of learning, laughter, and friendship. Beaming with pride, the fifth graders performed a special musical piece they had been rehearsing for weeks, leaving the audience in awe of their talent.

As the Dalers left the auditorium, they carried with them certificates, cherished memories, and a sense of accomplishment, eager to embark on the exciting path ahead.
