Bay View Academy Celebrates the Class of 2019 as They Move Up from Eighth Grade to the Upper School

East Providence, RI – The culminating event for Bay View Academy Middle School students is the Eighth Grade Moving Up Day. It marks their readiness to move on to ninth grade in the Academy’s Upper School. This year’s Moving Up Day celebration took place on June 5th and featured a breakfast hosted by Bay View President, Vittoria Pacifico-DeBenedictis, M.Ed., ABD, (Hyde Park, MA), a Mass and an awards ceremony.

The Highest Academic Average Award is the top academic honor that a Bay View Middle School student can attain. It is given to the student who has achieved the highest average in the eighth grade class. The student must have consistently maintained academic excellence in all of her classes and her work must reflect an in-depth understanding and appreciation of even the most complex material. This year Katherine Kerr (Seekonk, MA) met the requirements and received the award.
