As many of you know, Saturday, May 16th was supposed to be prom/grad day at Jens Haven Memorial School.
Even though we are not permitted to gather and celebrate as we normally would, we can still congratulate our graduates.
On Saturday, we have a few things planned and next month we’ll do some more.
COVID-19 might have restricted our prom celebrations but it can’t stop us from honouring our graduates and showing them how proud we are of them – all while practicing social distancing, of course.
So, on Saturday, we’re asking the whole community to share in the celebration.
As Kristie Holwell has invited you, please make some decorations for your door, window, house or yard. Use whatever you have – balloons, paint, signs – in whatever colour.
Just show the grads that you’re thinking of them.
We’re also planning social distancing congratulatory visits to each grad’s house on Saturday morning- so grads and families, be ready.
This is just for grads and school representatives.
Grad visits should be over by 12 noon; that’s when we need you, our community, to help us make some noise in giant cheer to celebrate our grads.
Bang a pot, beat a drum, honks a goose call, blow a trumpet – do whatever you can do to blast some noise in honour of our grads.
Saturday won’t be the grad we usually have, but we can still make it special for the Class of 2020.
Hopefully, when restrictions permit, we’ll be able to celebrate together.
