Graduation 2020
Patricia Bullock
Graduation 2020 is complete! Nothing in 2020 has been what any of us imagined I am sure, and graduation celebrations everywhere have taken on various different looks. For the students at Nellie graduation took the form of a google meet. Separate, but together. Just like they all have been every day since schools closed in this province.
This year’s highlights included a reminder of days gone by when the students gathered to perform following their week of Dance Ed as well as a montage of pictures of each of the graduates. Like an in person ceremony, the girls led the way with their amazing emcee skills full of timely jokes and thoughtful reminders of memories made and shared among the class.
Each of the Nellie’s graduating this year from the Avonmore and Oliver campuses will head off on a new path. A new school awaits them, their time at Nellie is over. But, the saying, ‘once a Nellie, always a Nellie’ still holds true. I am sure they will return to visit and volunteer like so many other alumni do. And they will continue the proud legacy of the Nellie program with their hard work and bright futures.
Congratulations graduates!
