The Canajoharie Middle School celebrated its 2005 moving up ceremony on Thursday, June 23. The ceremony began as middle school principal Rod Strait welcomed parents and friends. A steady stream of speakers followed. Student Council president Riley Smith and National Junior Honor Society president Sonni Pank reminded their classmates of where they had been in their first years of school and urged them to greater things in the future. District Superintendent Richard Rose advised the soon-to-be ninth graders to set goals in high school and to pursue those goals with purpose.  High School principal Dr. Donald Bowden reminded students that people are not the same and that each person has his or her own talents.

Teachers and school staff presented a long list of awards for academic performance and school participation. Receiving top honors for overall high average were sixth grader Jennie Trahan, seventh graders Payton Stahler and Nathan Rockwell (tied) and eighth grader Jacob Trahan.
