Grade 5 TOASTers move on up

Proud parents pose with their newly minted middle-schooler

The next generation of Katherine Johnsons and Neil deGrasse Tysons at Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) met a milestone in their education on Monday when they moved up from elementary to middle school.

Congratulations to the 60 students in Katie Chainyk, Tahisha Richards, Brianna House and Stephanie Stuart’s classes who are officially sixth-graders! After their moving-up ceremony, students and families enjoyed Kona Ice outside.
