Hi folks. Sorry for two emails in one day. I suppose I should have sent the previous one earlier. I just received a response from her that she is still not going to allow cords at the graduation ceremony. Her reason is just this: "graduation is the last opportunity for a graduating class to come together, the stole creates a unified look for the entire graduating class and captures the essence of community." I still think that change is possible. If you didn't reach out to her today, now is the time to share your opinion. Again here is the contact information:

Tara Drouhard, principal - tdrouhard@wcpss.net  919-881-4800 (leave a voice mail!)
Chris McCabe, area superintendent - northernarea@wcpss.net
Sam Hershey, school board - shershey@wcpss.net

Thank you for taking the time to read this and taking a moment to reach out to her!
-Kim
