Announcements for Today
Here's our plan for 8th-grade graduation:
Thursday, May 14th:
- Livestream the 8th-grade slideshow on YouTube at 6:00 PM (Valedictorians are submitting speeches to me due Monday, May 4th)
- All 8th graders and family meet at Oakdale parking lot at 6:45 PM with decorated cars for the parade
- We will publish the route so that the neighbors can be out on lawns to cheer on grads
- After the parade, we will go back to the school parking lot to get 8th-grade grad signs off the fence (paid for with leftover social $), their diplomas, and a treat from the 8th-grade homeroom moms.
