Philip Schuyler Achievement Academy recognized its last class of fifth-graders on Friday at a moving-up ceremony in Bleecker Stadium.

Class president Tha Way Aung and vice-president Maida Mohsini addressed their classmates, thanking faculty, staff and their families for the support they received in elementary school.

The new sixth-graders will attend William S. Hackett Middle School in September.

On July 1, the school’s name will change to Roots Academy at West Hill.

Best wishes to our newest middle-schoolers!
