On Feb. 14, Edmund W. Miles School in Amityville celebrated students' academic success for the second marking period with an Awards Ceremony, recognizing those who earned Honor Roll and Principal's List distinctions.  

Students proudly walked on stage at the school’s gymnasium to receive their certificates as their families watched and cheered them on. To extend the celebration to the entire school community, their Shared Decision Making Committee introduced a “Scholar Walk” — a tradition similar to the Senior Walk.  

After the ceremony, honored students paraded through the hallways while their peers and teachers lined up outside classrooms to cheer on the scholars. An announcement was made before the walk, and students were encouraged to create signs to show their support.
