Do seniors deserve graduation? I think so. Students have gone through 12+ years of schooling, so I think we deserve to be sent off with something to remember. After all, seniors have made it all the way to be sent off into the real world. If this idea is given enough support then students can get the celebration they earned. Most teachers and staff can stand behind this as they too believe us seniors should graduate with a respected ceremony.
Do seniors deserve graduation? Seniors should absolutely get their ceremonies for their last year.
This pandemic has effected many students, families, and staff from schools. People have been not able to leave their house as often, and some have lost family members to this virus.
There has been debate on how to open schools back up as the decrease in cases of Covid-19 appears. Some say that schools should be half in the school and half online. New foundations however is planning their reopening based on statistics at the end of each month.
New foundations senior sponsor Peggy Thomas has said in an interview "Right now I feel we know how to deal with this pandemic better than when it first hit. I think last year we could have had an outside, spread apart graduation". I would have to agree with her as the students last year had a drive-by graduation! I could just imagine the anger in the students that went through all 12 years of schooling just to graduate in their cars.
