Even if you never contract COVID-19, the pandemic has had side-effects on all of us.
One population hit particularly hard is the graduating class of 2020.
For these high school seniors, they won’t know the hallmark rite of passage events that serve as cherished memories for most of us.
Whether it’s going to the prom, walking in the graduation ceremony, or shopping to get ready for college in the fall – there’s no question things will be different this year.
Here at WGAL, we’ll be honoring our seniors this spring and summer.
In addition to our 32nd annual Honor Roll, a program that recognizes class valedictorians, we’ll be launching Senior Shoutouts, an on-air tribute to seniors and schools from around the Susquehanna Valley.
Look for both programs to roll out in the coming weeks.
The pandemic has changed our rules of engagement, but it doesn’t need to eliminate these time-treasured capstones. It’s up to all of us to help make different special.
