When the pandemic hit and the whole country went into lockdown, it was decided that not only would schools remain virtual but all school events and activities would be cancelled.
That meant no traditional team building retreats or graduation dances. However, when it came time to decide on what to do about graduation ceremonies, the ministry of education remained undecided until the last moment.
Thankfully, schools were given permission to host graduation ceremonies but with sanitary precaution measures in place. So a solution was found and kids were able to graduate while also staying safe.
Ceremonies were held in time slots by student's last names and classes were divided into sections to allow for a select few to graduate at a time. It wasn't the graduation we have come to expect but it was a ceremony none the less and in these times, we could not have asked for much more. I was just thankful my boys were able to celebrate their special days with a bit of pomp and circumstance.
To celebrate the day even more, the graduate decided on Chuck e Cheese for his special outing and his two siblings came along for the fun.
As for my oldest son, he was finally able to close the chapter on his high school years, finally graduating after a long and sometimes difficult road. I am so proud that he can now look forward to the future. He is now one step closer in achieving his dreams as he sets his sights on college. My boy is university bound and I could not be happier.
