2021GRADUATION DETAILS
Last year’s “Graduation on the Grounds” was sosuccessful that we plan something similar for this year. Our ceremony is scheduled for 7:00 PM on June5th. Grads will be assigned adesignated spot in the hall where we will maintain social distancing until timefor each one to take his/her place on the stage for individualrecognition. Following the presentation,each senior will return to his/her spot to prepare for the final march.
Guests may bring chairs or blankets (no seating isprovided) to assemble on the front lawn. Even though this is an outside event, we ask that guests are limited to10 per graduate and follow CDC guidelines on pod distance.
We have secured a sound technician to ensure aquality experience and we have the stage backdrop from last year.
Our featured speaker is Texas State Representative,James Talarico.
Personalized yard announcements for each graduatehave been ordered, as has the three-dimensional lawn display that last year’sgroup utilized for family/friend photos. Mrs. Greenwell is organizing a “Class of 21” t-shirt design and PTSOwill purchase one for each senior in addition to presenting the grads a $25Amazon gift card.
Our plans are in the works!
