Greetings Class of 2022,
Welcome to Graduation Week! While this unseasonably cool and wet spring has been a welcomed change from the norm, the current forecast has made planning our outdoor commencement ceremony challenging. In addition to forecasted rain this Friday, our community is currently experiencing a surge in COVID cases. Given our continued emphasis on the health and safety of our community, we plan to move forward with an outdoor ceremony. While there will be a limited number of covered seating, we ask that attendees come prepared for inclement weather. On the chance that there is active lightning in the area, we will delay the ceremony until it is safe to move forward.
Additionally, after rehearsal on Thursday, graduates will participate in an outdoor “graduate walk” at Methow Valley Elementary before gathering in the gym for the senior slide show. Out of an abundance of caution, this event will only be open to graduates and masks ar highly encouraged. Family, friends, and community members will be able to view the slide show online.
Please scroll down to view the current version of our Graduation Week Agenda and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Congratulations Class of 2022!
