Let graduation leave no regrets. On the first day of summer, the principal fulfilled his promise: the children who graduated from the cloud will return to their alma mater and leave a special graduation photo. Graduation ceremony and return to their alma mater
Today is the first day of summer, and after many schools have just finished their graduation ceremonies from the previous semester, Changning District Shicun Primary School has ushered in another special graduation season. The 2022 graduates returned to their alma mater on the first day of summer and took special graduation photos. Principal Cao Yongzou said that in June last year, due to the pandemic, the children's graduation ceremony could only be held online. In order to ensure that the "cloud graduation" children do not leave any regrets, the promise made a year ago was fulfilled today, fulfilling the dreams of teachers, students, and parents.
Last June, the graduation ceremony for the fifth grade students of the 2022 Shicun Primary School was held in the cloud. For fifth grade graduates, there are always some shortcomings in the graduation season without a group photo of elementary school graduates. Therefore, at the cloud graduation ceremony, Cao Yongzou made a solemn promise to his classmates: Shicun Elementary School owes everyone a graduation photo and will definitely make it up! On June 15 this year, the WeChat official account of Shicun Primary School released a message that Shicun Primary School called you back to take graduation photos! This message is as follows: "Do you still remember last year's graduation season, the sunny summer when we couldn't complete the graduation photos due to the epidemic? Do you remember Principal Cao's promise at the 2022 cloud graduation ceremony? Shicun Elementary School owes everyone a graduation photo. Now Shicun Elementary School is calling for you to come back and take photos!... It is scheduled to be completed at 8:00 am on July 1, 2023, on the Shicun Elementary School playground, to take the graduation photos of the 2022 graduates. Please dress according to the original class teacher's requirements and come and take photos on time. We will not see each other after a year of fulfilling this promise!" The gathering number of words has caused a considerable response among students, parents, and teachers.
Last year's special graduation season, the children graduated, but it couldn't stop the teachers and students from connecting their hearts and hands. The news was sent out in just a few days, and the teachers responded positively. The 2022 graduates are actively applying and have received over 80% of applications from their classmates. For some students who cannot be notified due to various reasons, class teachers are trying to contact each student through various means. This special graduation season lasted for a year, and due to the two-way communication between the school and students, there were no regrets left.
Early this morning, wearing a red scarf and a white T-shirt, the children excitedly returned to their alma mater. "You've grown taller!" "Long time no see!" "You're already like a junior high school student..." Friends, seeing the long lost campus and friendly teachers, give warm hugs between teachers and students... At this moment, we welcome a special moment of graduation and happy reunion. The photographer pressed the camera shutter, leaving behind special photos one after another.
After a year, returning to her alma mater, Yang Xiaoyue, a student from Class 5 of Shicun Elementary School, was very excited. When I graduated from fifth grade last year, I didn't have a graduation photo, which I always felt very regretful. At that time, I even searched for old photos of my classmates during their five years of elementary school activities and posted a graduation photo. It was also to lament the passing of five years and to leave a beautiful memory. "Now, when I return to my familiar alma mater, I see lovely teachers and classmates, fulfill my wishes, and feel particularly happy!" said Yang Xiaoyue. The parents of Su Changyi said that at last year's cloud graduation ceremony, the principal said he owed everyone a graduation photo, and it was a pity that the children did not take graduation photos after graduation. I am very grateful that the school has always remembered this matter and cared for the children who have already graduated. Let these students return to campus to make up for their regrets and complete their primary school graduation memories in life. Returning to campus again, everything is so friendly, wishing the children well. As the former homeroom teacher of fifth grade, Teacher Shan Jun excitedly said, "This is the place where children's dreams begin, where ideal seeds take root and sprout. I wish the children wisdom, talent, courage, and perseverance to open up a world of their own."
In order not to affect the learning order of students on campus, the school arranged for 2022 graduates to return to school on the first day of summer to take graduation photos, fulfilling the dreams of teachers, students, and parents, and also drawing a complete conclusion to the children's primary school learning and life. A few days ago, at the graduation ceremony of the fifth grade students of Shicun Primary School in 2023, as the students were about to leave their alma mater, Cao Yongzou gave the graduates "three powers" - the power of gratitude, the power of ideals, and the power of struggle. He hoped that no matter where they went in the future, they would remember these "three powers", live up to expectations, and aspire to study for the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation. He wished the graduates to set sail against the wind and move forward on the waves, and the alma mater would always be your strongest support.
