Small schools in-person graduation drew big smiles
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. While many schools are holding virtual graduation ceremonies during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hope Christian Academy in Sans Souci decided to hold an in-person graduation ceremony Wednesday for its five graduates. Be encouraged because youre going to face more challenging times than COVID-19, Cohen said told the graduates. The decision to hold in-person graduation ceremony is because 85% of Hope Christian Academy students come from diverse backgrounds and some are first-generation graduates and the school did not want to overlook this accomplishment. Graduates sat in chairs socially distanced with their masks on and one-by-one crossed the stage to receive their diplomas. Although you couldnt see it beneath the masks -- smiles were beaming through.
