That’s a Wrap!
Each year, Brandeis students and faculty gather in the school’s gymnasium to count down the last 10 seconds of the school year. As this academic year quickly came to an end, the school administration decided that they would not forsake this tradition, no matter the circumstances.
On Wednesday, June 24, N3 through 8th-grade students were invited for a two-part end-of-year celebration. As cars entered the Brandeis parking lot and driveway, staff members lined the path, waving enthusiastically to their students.
Parents were asked to pull into the school’s field for a drive-through end-of-year countdown celebration. While students were not permitted to exit their cars, guests found creative ways to see the excitement (whether by sitting on top of their cars, or opening their moonroofs to pop out).
To everyone’s surprise, Brandeis faculty, parents, and students looked up at the building only to find Mr. Raz Levin, head of school, on the roof, greeting everyone with upbeat music. Together, attendees counted down the last 10 seconds of the year and honked their horns to officially bring the academic year to a close.
After four months of adjusting to online learning and remote education, bringing the Brandeis family together was the perfect way to end the school year.
Brandeis Class of 2020 Graduation Ceremony
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brandeis Class of 2020 had the opportunity to celebrate together as they received their diplomas and officially marked the end of their Brandeis schooling.
The ceremony was held on the large field of the school’s campus, and graduates parked in a semi-circle (six feet apart), with chairs awaiting the guests in each car.
While not your typical ceremony, the Class of 2020 graduation was intimate, meaningful, and certainly unique. This was one for the books!
