There are always conversations in many languages at Albany International Center, and Friday’s eighth-grade moving up ceremony was no exception!
Students recited the Pledge of Allegiance in English, Arabic and Spanish. Principal Rachel Stead read her message to students and families in English and Spanish, and it was translated into Arabic, Dari and Pashtu as well.
The 34 students who crossed the stage are officially now in high school. Some will attend Albany High School this fall, and others will continue their studies at Albany International Center.
Congratulations to all!
You can see a collection of Facebook photos from the ceremony. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
