2021 Graduates Look to the Future: Suffield Academy Graduation
|
The weather was comfortable for Suffield Academy’s graduation ceremonies on May 28, on the back lawn of the campus. Families observed the school’s request for limited attendance, assuring social distancing; the event was also live-streamed, for the benefit of families and alumni. One hundred and sixteen seniors, ten of whom are from Suffield, received their diplomas. The faculty processed in full academic regalia, while among the graduates-to-be the boys wore orange and white ties and the girls were presented with silver necklaces bearing a charm with the Suffield Academy seal. The music was provided by three seniors, a trumpet player and two singers.

Pictured at sunset on May 22 amid lessening pandemic restrictions, the mask-less event, with no one present except members of the class and the school staff (plus three food trucks and the main caterer), was reported to have been enjoyed by all.
