Senator Gershaw grad festivities start tonight

By Southern Alberta Newspapers on June 17, 2021.

Senator Gershaw School’s plans this year are on June 17 to have a parent night followed by an abbreviated cap and gown ceremony with graduates and parents only.

On June 18 will be a more public live streamed graduation ceremony with graduates dressing up in their formal attire and completing all graduate congratulations and addresses. This will be held in the Senator Gershaw Common Area as we have fire code capacity to have a good number of guests for each graduate.

“The benefit of moving graduation inside the school as we have the facility ready to have a graduation and we will not be weather dependent,” said Angle.

“Following our graduation ceremony on June 18th we are planning a parade of graduates down Centre Street of Bow Island at approximately 8:30 p.m. to allow for community members to congratulate our graduates. Although this is an alternative format to traditional Senator Gershaw graduation ceremonies, we look forward to celebrating our graduates and their achievements through the past 12 years and especially the last year of challenging schooling.”

The livestreamed graduation ceremony can be viewed on the Senator Gershaw School Facebook page.
