Mossdale Elementary School bid farewell to its eighth graders on Wednesday.
Together, they made up the Class of 2021. Each received their certificate of promotion from Manteca Unified at a drive-thru ceremony held in front of the campus.
“This year, we did it in shifts, per class,” said Principal Susan Sanders, who has been at the school since its opening in 2007.
She and her staff bid adieu to 105 eighth graders – most will be moving on to Lathrop High.
