The rain held off long enough yesterday for the Grade Eight graduates of AB Ellis Public School to be presented with diplomas and gifts as part of their in-person graduation held on the school grounds. Like their counterparts, most of the graduates are celebrating this week and next receiving posters of their graduation and gifts, like school sweatshirts and backpacks to mark this most unusual 2021 graduation. The schools had to modify their ceremonies due to COVID-19. Photos by Rosalind Russell – myespanolanow.com/myalgomamanitoulinnow.com staffer

AB Ellis Public School in Espanola has joined its peers across Ontario in celebrating graduation virtually but also in person following COVID-19 guidelines.

Yesterday, graduates and their families arrived at designated times for official photographs and the presentation of gifts from the school board.

One parent told The Moose she was happy to see her son acknowledged for his hard efforts in elementary school, but admits she is looking forward to hoping to see him graduate with a full convocation in high school.
