TORONTO An unprecedented school year due to COVID-19 is officially in the books for thousands of high school students within the Toronto District school board. Once again, there will be no in-person graduation ceremonies. Instead, students were seen arriving at their schools on Monday wearing their caps and gowns to pick up their diplomas. Some students are relieved it’s an end to a year that saw multiple school closures amid rising COVID-19 cases and variants of concerns. “It’s bittersweet, there’s part of me that is so happy we were able to push through,” said Firdaus Shallo, who is part of graduating class at C. W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute.
