NCIC实验部 | 前途似海，来日方长
在英语单词里，Graduation（毕业）可以这样来拆分——词根grad表示“步行”（to walk/step)，u是拉丁语名词词尾，-ation为名词后缀。走完一个阶段的学习，学生们就毕业了。
凤凰花如期开放，和全球许多地区的毕业生一样，今年Immersion 八年级的毕业活动注定不一样。受疫情影响，我们无法像往届一样，邀请Immersion家庭成员到校，和我们一起见证八年级学生的人生中另一个重要阶段的盛礼，但是在学年末最后一周，老师们还是通过线上、线下结合的形式，为八年级学生们举行了丰富的毕业活动。
学生、家长和老师在屏幕另外一端，留下一张张温情又可爱的笑脸
今年的毕业典礼搬到了线上，学生、家长和老师们透过屏幕，一起见证这个最不舍和留恋的时刻。毕业生代表Coco Liu在线上为大家带来了精彩的演讲，分享了她在Immersion成长的点点滴滴。
在线下，在校园内的活动虽然简单却不失仪式感。根据传统，老师和学生们举行了毕业诗歌展（Poet Slam）、毕业照（Graduation Portrait）、毕业生漫步礼（Grad Walk）等。
在毕业生漫步礼（Grad Walk）当天，全校学弟学妹们都纷纷走出班级，在过道上夹道欢迎我们八年级的学长学姐。低年级的孩子们虽然可能还没能理解“毕业”的真正含义，但是作为Immersion大家庭的成员，他们真心为这帮身穿毕业袍，头戴毕业方帽的学长学姐们感到自豪。我们的镜头记录了这一刻，跟我们一起来看看吧。
热闹的聚会总有散场的一刻，每一次的离别都意味着一个新的开始。最后，我们希望和大家分享英语人文学科老师Ms. Ashley Reagan为毕业学子们写的诗《Take a Moment》，在她睿智幽默的字里行间，饱含了对孩子们倾注的爱与祝福。前途似海，来日方长，让我们一起祝愿所有Immersion的学子前程似锦，不管身处何处，永保赤子之心，勇敢奔赴每一场绚丽的山海！
I know some days were tough
and sometimes not so fun.
But I hope you can take a moment,
to see all the work you’ve done.
In grade 6, we began
with Humanities in the morn.
Where we learned about dynastiesand that Harry Potter was born.
Splendid China and Oh Deer!
came about in 7th grade.
New classmates joined us and
many close friendships were made.
In 8th grade, we read The Giver,
and learned all about themes.
Became journalists, debaters, and researchers;
we are poets, with so many dreams.
2020 brought on something
Never experienced before
COVID-19 virus challenged learning
And communication even more
Online learning pushed us fora situation we weren’t prepared.
With Teams and Zoom to support us,we took on the challenge, if we dared.
We were the first in this middle school
to go from sixth to eighth grade.
We have always adapted to be a success,growing strong where we were once afraid.
Take this time to think, of thespecial moments we’ve shared.
Then allow your words to show how much you’ve truly cared.
Next year, when we move on,and new adventures begin.
I hope your paths still cross and that you’ve made friends until the end.
GOLDEN MONKEYS, KEEP GOING！
