Since the 2020 Graduates
all had their graduations postponed
(most likely to late July or August),
our City had a Grad Walk on the
weekend that the public schools would
have had graduations.

All graduates were invited to wear their caps and gowns and
parade around their neighborhood at 8:20 PM (military time 2020)
so neighbors could hoot and howl and celebrate them
in a totally unexpected way.

Does that sound a little corny?
I believe our Mayor came up with the idea because her
daughter was graduating from high school.
The Mayor got all choked up and teary when she announced
the 2020 Grad Walk!
It was SO. MUCH. FUN!
I got balloons and noise-makers. Maddie's friend, Mia,
came over to join our block. There were about 4 other graduates
on Stratford Avenue and it was a blast to see them
being cheered by all the neighbors!

Thanks Mayor - that was much
appreciated!
She definitely gets my vote when she runs again! :)
