LYME/OLD LYME — The Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) Class of 2020 will celebrate their graduation this coming Friday with a drive-up ceremony, which will be followed by a parade through the town. It is hoped that as many community members as possible will come out onto Town Woods R., Boston Post Rd., Lyme St. and McCurdy Rd. to cheer the graduates as they drive by in their appropriately decorated vehicles.
Although the Governor decided late last week that outdoor graduation ceremonies could take place from July 6 and henceforward, Lyme-Old Lyme Schools retained their planned date of June 12 since another of the governor’s stipulations was that ceremonies could only be for up to 150 people including the graduates. Since LOLHS will be graduating 127 students, a single ceremony was not an option.
It has been a very strange year for these students since they have not been in school since March 12, so rather than wait until Friday, which would be our normal policy, we decided we would celebrate them in a variety of different ways throughout this week.
We start today with a link to a video, which features every single graduate with their names. The video was made by Vicki Griffin and her son Tanner, who is a senior at LOLHS.
Enjoy!
Thank you, Vicki and Tanner Griffin! Loved seeing the Class of 2020 names and faces. Best of luck to you all!
