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.

On June 13, 2025, Farmingdale High School’s Class of 2025 took a meaningful walk down memory lane, returning to the elementary schools where their educational journeys began. The day was filled with nostalgia, joy, and a sense of wonder as seniors explored the playgrounds that once felt enormous and snapped photos to capture the moment. They reunited with beloved former principals and teachers, sharing warm hugs and heartfelt thanks for the support and guidance that helped shape who they are today. The hallways were alive with #dalerpride, as these soon-to-be graduates celebrated their journey and the bright futures that await them.

Dalers from AA, NS, SEM, and WP came together on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 for the annual district-wide 5th-grade field day, held at their future home for the next three years, Howitt Middle School. It was a beautiful day filled with fun, laughter, and competition! A big shoutout to everyone who ensured the day ran smoothly, including the Farmingdale Physical Education department, all the volunteers, and Howitt Fun Bunch.

This year, the Farmingdale Friends and Family Team participated in a new event, The Best Buddies Friendship Walk, the premier walk in the nation advocating for inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The walk took place on Saturday, May 10, at Marjorie Post Park. Our team had sixty walkers and successfully raised over $2,000. Heartfelt appreciation goes to Farmingdale High School senior Julianna DeSantis, who crafted the team’s vibrant shirts, adding a personal touch to the journey.
