Gray Sr. Civic Center. We look forward to a full civic center, with thousands of people present who have come to watch their loved ones take part in the 2019 Gradu ation Ceremony. This ceremony commemo rates an important rite of passage: the comple tion of the high school journey, and the rise to adulthood of a wonder ful group of young men and women. This is always an exciting time of the year for our students and their families. There will be many family get-togethers, parties, and celebrations af ter the completion of the ceremony. Please remember, however, that the ceremony itself is traditionally meant to be a reverent occurrence. The graduation ceremo ny is traditionally for mal, where the comple tion of high school and the journey to adulthood is considered, discussed, completed, and then celebrated. With this in mind, please help us hold to these reverent traditions, and do not take away from them. Balloons are not al lowed within the civic center. Additionally, noise-making items such as air horns, portable loudspeakers, snap ping devices, et al, are prohibited. They take away from the reverence and recognition of the graduates, and they can cause some families to miss hearing the names of their children. In short, they will not be tolerated. Those who disrupt the ceremony by using noise-making devices may be escorted out of the civic center by law enforcement. If you will allow us 60-90 minutes to recog nize the efforts of our young adults in a formal and reverent fashion, we promise that you can cheer all you like once they throw their caps. The throwing of the caps signifies the end of the ceremony... and at that point, the celebrat ing may begin. Below is information and some directions to help our community navigate this new loca tion. The Albany Civic Cen ter will hold over 8,000 and will accommodate our community.

But don’t worry, the good news is that 89% of parents plan to continue some form of educa tional activities with their children during the summer. Many of these activities may be things you already do with your children. And 92% of teachers agree that students will be more successful overall if they keep learning during the summer months. What are the most enjoyable and successful ways to help your chil dren learn while they’re having fun and enjoying their summer? Here are five ideas to keep your kids’ minds and bodies active all summer, so they’ll be ea ger to pick up where they left off when the new school year begins. 1. Plan fun field trips. Take advantage of your community’s attractions, museums or historical sites that offer wonderful learning opportunities, as well as being really fun outings the whole family can enjoy. Find interesting locations to visit online, involv ing older children in the search. Use trips to the zoo, farm or museum as learning opportunities by engaging your children in a little pre-trip research, exploring the background of the animals, artwork or history of the location beforehand to get them excited. Plan what you’ll do when you get there, and follow up with a related activity after you get home. Many family- friendly venues offer learning materials and guides for schools and See Summer, page 6B Congratulations GRADS'. Best Wishes, The Future Is Yours! |HISTORY COLDWeU.
