The district – like most others – debated the graduation question since school was canceled for good in early April. A representative graduation committee recently came up with the decision to hold a 1) outdoor graduation – if limitations allow; 2) indoor graduation if limitations allow; or 3) a virtual graduation. When limitations on the number of attendees, the committee agreed to a virtual graduation. “We want to thank our representative graduation committee parents and students consisting of Susan Sayles, Lisa Bradley, Mike Boobyer, Elizabeth Phelps, Izzy Ford, and Austin Smith, for participating in the tough decision making,”…
