The Lewis F Cole Middle School Graduation was Thursday at the Jack Alter Community Center.
The large auditorium at the was nearly full Thursday, as proud family and friends came to see 264 Lewis F. Cole Middle School students graduate.
The Fort Lee High School Brass Ensemble played "Pomp and Circumstance" as the graduates marched in, and student Michelle Park delivered a perfect rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner."
Two Students then spoke of their experiences at the middle school. Philip Plucinski spoke of fate, choices and chances, and Michelle Park gave a speech about sticking your neck out--a story about her experiences and initial apprehensions about being in a new school.

Middle school principal Rosemary Giacomelli and Fort Lee Board of Education vice president Linda McCue also spoke at the ceremony, but the highlight of graduation night was when Giacomelli presented the LFCMS Class of 2011. A rousing cheer went up from the audience as hats were thrown high into the air--a positive sendoff for the graduates.
