\"\"Michipicoten High School (MHS) would like to send out a huge congratulations to the Graduating Class of 2020. \u00a0On June 25th and June 26th, MHS staff will be delivering certificates and memorabilia to graduates around the region.\u00a0 Included in this delivery will be a lawn sign that graduates are encouraged to put on their front lawn.\u00a0 Mrs. Trish Bernath, Principal at MHS, says \u201cWe know signs don\u2019t replace a ceremony, but we want to honour our grads.\u00a0 It has been a difficult year and over the last few months we have been thinking of them constantly.\u00a0 We want to celebrate their achievements and tell them we are proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The graduates of 2020 have had to adjust to unprecedented circumstances during Covid-19. \u00a0While MHS is saddened that it cannot offer a traditional graduation ceremony, each grad will also be provided with their own personal grad cap and tassel so that they are able to celebrate with their family.<\/p>\n

MHS is inviting members of the public to join in this celebration of the graduating Class of 2020 by honking and waving as you pass by any lawn sign that is celebrating a grad. \u00a0There will also be a large sign from the Algoma District School Board posted at the school in honour of our Class of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur heart really goes out to our graduates. These are the students we have known the longest,\u201d says Ms. Mitchell, a teacher at MHS. \u201cI want to encourage them to be reflective, to keep a record of their thoughts, feeling and things that resonate with them at this junction, as they are living through historical times. But they should also know that this time does not define them, they are still writing their futures. Graduation celebrates the end of their time at MHS, but also marks beginning of something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Morrison, guidance counselor, says, \u201cThese graduates should all be proud of themselves. Despite the pandemic, resulting school closure and sudden switch to emergency remote learning, these students have persevered and learned many new skills in doing so. They likely don’t even realize all the transferable skills they have learned throughout this time. It is my hope that they will take all that they have learned, be positive, and look for new opportunities.\u00a0 Like all things, this pandemic, too, shall pass, and while graduation does not look how we had planned, it does not overshadow what these graduates have accomplished.\u00a0 Stand tall graduates \u2013 never stop believing in yourself and don\u2019t underestimate what you can do \u2013 and wash your hands frequently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Please HONK for our graduates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
