The threat of bad weather this weekend has prompted both Paola and Osawatomie High Schools to move their graduation ceremonies indoors.
Paola Graduation is officially set for 10:00 tomorrow morning, inside the Paola High School Gymnasium. Graduates will each be given eight wristbands at rehearsal that they can give to family and friends to attend the ceremony, according to the post. Doors will open at 9:00 for spectators to enter the building. Only those wearing a PHS issued wristband will be granted entry. The ceremony will also be livestreamed. Check the website for the link.
Osawatomie High School has also changed its graduation plans due to the threat of rain this weekend. It’s scheduled to take place at 3:30 Sunday afternoon inside the school’s gymnasium. School officials say attendance won’t be limited since it is a small graduating class. Attendees will be asked to wear a mask, since social distancing cannot be guaranteed.
