A few reminders and updates for our 8th grade parents about graduation on Tuesday: - Your 2 tickets will be passed out to your child on Tuesday during practice. All graduates must attend practice to receive their tickets. - Guests for each student must sit together as chairs are set in pairs for social distancing and best viewing. - All attendees must wear masks throughout the event. - Caps and gowns are at school and will be handed out the night of graduation. - Graduates have been advised to wear shoes they can walk easily in. - Graduates must arrive by 5:45pm.  - Extra parking is available at the Sugar Creek Golf Course. - The weather is looking pretty good, but if it rains heavily we will move the ceremony into the gym without guests unfortunately.  - The graduation ceremony will be livestreamed here:  https://youtu.be/NKWTj3xpW_o  - Only graduates and their two guests are allowed at the Dessert Social following the ceremony.    - Each graduate will get a gift and a free Kona Ice at the Dessert Social. - Don't forget to pre-order your cupcakes at tinyurl.com/556p5f7h We are very excited to have a graduation ceremony and our teachers have done a wonderful job helping plan this event.
