Jewish Tidewater’s Graduates

Terri Denison

Graduation season began again this year with plenty for Jewish Tidewater’s graduates and their families to celebrate.

The pomp and circumstance that surround most graduations provides a time to recognize achievements, formally bid goodbye to a treasured educational institution, and move on to life’s next chapter.

For parents, the feeling of witnessing their children’s successes can be summed up as one dad wrote in an email as simply and emphatically “So proud.” For graduates, there’s often a mix of excitement, sadness, and guarded anticipation for the future. And, this year, for the Jewish Tidewater community, there’s much to collectively feel proud of and celebrate – with so many graduating from respected schools, earning impressive degrees, and planning rewarding futures.
