021score on a world language assessment. And the third part is completing all the parts of their um graduation.

Um the students received this evening um a letter from the department of elementary and secondary education in case anyone would like to be a future educator. Um those are in their folder. Um they'll receive their test results. they will receive um a certificate um which they can also use when they leave school um because every year there are state colleges in Massachusetts and beyond that are recognizing the state seal of biiteracy um for credit outside and after secondary

022um school. So we are so proud of them in the myriad number of languages in which the students have earned the seal. Um, so I'd like to start by giving everyone on stage a great round of applause for all of their workers and then I would ask that they come forward so that they can receive both their certificate um the packet of information we just gave them and also their silo by literacy course.
