I am one of the students who deeply desires to have my entire family present at my graduation ceremony, not just a limited number of people. Like many of my classmates, I dream of a graduation that takes place on our field. This is not just about tradition, which is embraced in other countries as well, but about providing us the opportunity to celebrate with all our loved ones. When graduation is held in a venue with limited seating, we are forced to make difficult decisions about who can attend. With more than just eight tickets, we can truly mark this milestone with the people who matter most.

In holding the commencement ceremony on our field, we can accommodate all families, allowing everyone to partake in this joyous occasion. It offers a practical solution that respects social distancing, ensuring a safer environment for all attendees while also honoring our achievements in a meaningful way. Our field has the capacity and the ambiance fitting for a memorable graduation ceremony, one that can become an extraordinary tradition in our county.

Moreover, hosting the graduation outdoors aligns with many schools across the country and can be managed efficiently with proper planning and coordination. Implementing factors such as stage setup, sound systems, and seating arrangements strategically can make this dream a feasible reality.

We should not be constrained to limited alternatives when better solutions present themselves. As students, our hard work deserves to be celebrated in a manner that reflects our desires and accomplishments. Let's come together to make graduation on our field possible. Bringing this to life will not only benefit us but future generations as well.

Sign this petition to support our mission in creating an inclusive and memorable graduation experience. Let's ensure that every student can share their big day with all of their loved ones present.
