Exeter-Milligan Superintendent Paul Sheffield gets a little lift from Village of Exeter employee Tara Mueller as he places another graduate banner on a light pole downtown.
Exeter-Milligan is trying to find a multitude of ways to
honor their graduates amongst the social distancing and directive health
measures handed down from the state. They find themselves in an unusual
position as there are just nine students graduating from Exeter-Milligan this
year.
The district has a theme of “9 seniors, 9 days,” according
to Principal Laura Kroll, “It will never replace all the things that got
cancelled but it is something.”
Graduation will be held on Saturday, May 9 at the
Exeter-Milligan football field in Milligan. There will only be 10 people
on the football field and others may attend but must stay in their vehicles at
all times. The district plans to attempt to broadcast the event on Striv.
The senior video was played every evening in the nine days
prior to graduation in downtown Exeter and Milligan and the football field
lights in Milligan were lit at 8:20 (20:20) each evening during the same
period. Yard signs were delivered to each graduate along with a daily
care package which included items from their teachers.
The senior banners that the district usually hangs in the
gym have been reordered in duplicate and hung on the downtown light posts in
both communities.
The class of 2020 graduation events will never be forgotten
by this group of seniors.
