Iona College celebrated the accomplishments of its 2022 class on Saturday and the occasion marked a family milestone for one graduate.

The Estrella family are now all proud Iona College graduates.

Parents Rich and Sue met at Iona and graduated in 1987, their daughter Carolyn is a class of 2019 graduate, and now Nick Estrella walked across the stage to get his diploma.

"It's been such an honor to go to this school. I love it," Nick Estrella said and added that he was under a lot of pressure on his way to graduate, but ultimately, he was happy to have attended the school.

The Estrella family took a photo with all four of their framed diplomas at the ceremony to commemorate the moment.

HVFORECAST

First weekend of December. But hey, it feels like November still. We have mild air in place. Unfortunately, this is gonna keep fog around for the first half of the morning, especially for Westchester Rockland, maybe Putnam County getting in on widespread fog for the rest of the morning too. So basically the lower Hudson Valley has the best risk for that temperatures warm up pretty quickly. We're talking near 50 by the time you hit lunch and we could, in places like Yonkers and S A 287 hits 60 degrees what in December? But again, it does come with a lot of cloud cover. So it's not a beautiful looking day. There'll be some peaks of sun this afternoon today though. Really isn't a big issue. If you have afternoon plans. The fog is a slight problem for morning plans tonight. We do have rain mostly after midnight. So if you're a late night owl, you're getting in on that Sunday morning, it's a wash right from the start. Mostly white rain, but there will be pockets of heavy rain throughout the morning and the afternoon on Sunday. I really don't see much dry time if any during the daylight on Sunday it goes soup weather, it goes gloomy and, you know, it's not cold but it's gonna feel cold when you have that kind of rain just so widespread across the area. Monday morning commute. Not that we want to talk about the commute on a Saturday morning, but either way Monday morning does look good if you're planning it. Ok. How about rain again? Not much if any today. But tomorrow I am expecting half of an inch to an inch of rain across the Hudson Valley. So that's pretty decent. But it happens over the course of the whole day, 100% guarantee it does rain. But again, we're not expecting this to be a really heavy rain. It's just a persistent steady rain all day. Temperatures drop into the forties for the upcoming week.

Iona commencement ceremony marks milestone for Estrella family

DHIONAFIX

well, graduations are happening this weekend all throughout our area. Iona College celebrating the accomplishments of its class of 2022 today. But for one Iona College graduate, it was also about continuing the family legacy. The Australia family are now all proud. Iona College graduates, parents, rich and Sue met at Iona and graduated in 1987. Daughter Carolyn was the class of 2019 and today Nick Estrella walked across the stage. The community that we have here is so beautiful and special and it's very unique and we all find our own niches, but it works. My whole family graduated from the school to go to the school to carry on the legacy. There's a lot of pressure, but I'm happy I made this decision. I met my best friend here. We ended up getting married. My father graduated here, wow. The family took a photo with all four of their framed diplomas at the ceremony to commemorate the moment. Congratulations.
