Flintridge Prep Celebrates Middle School Promotion



At the 8th Grade Promotion and Middle School Awards Ceremony, administration, faculty and parents took time to celebrate the achievements of middle school students and to honor the 8th graders as they make the transition to their high school years.

Headmaster Peter Bachmann congratulated the 7th graders for their seamless transition, both academically and socially, to a new school. He then recognized the 8th graders for their contributions to Flintridge Prep thus far, through their academic, athletic, artistic and community service endeavors.

The Promotion speaker, Board Secretary Karen Bogaard, parent of Andrew ‘04, Erik ‘09, John ‘08 and Katherine ‘13, encouraged students to pursue passions as they advance to high school.

“Take time to make the most of these years,” she said. “Support and encourage each other.”

As the ceremony ended, the entire audience of parents, faculty and students gave visual arts teacher and 7th grade dean Betty Urban a standing ovation to thank her for over a decade of service to Flintridge Prep. Ms. Urban will be leaving Prep to pursue her passion for teaching and adventure abroad.
