Change graduation location to the football field instead of large gym

The Issue
This day is a very special day for us graduates, and we deserve to have a nice open setting to be celebrated in, like the newly renovated football field. We have made it this far and our families are excited to see us walk across that stage, but unfortunately we only get 3 tickets each, which makes it hard to choose who to bring. Holding the ceremony outside on the field will be better than being inside the gym, and I think most of us can agree on that. There’s another set of stands that are currently being built, which makes that 2 big stands and 3 smaller stands where our family can sit, and we can even make it an option for parents to bring their own lawn chairs and sit on the track around us graduates in the middle. We also have a Jumbotron where the pictures of the graduates can pop up, and if the weather becomes a problem, we can have the large gym as a backup. Some of us can even offer to volunteer set up the day before if it means it’ll help move our graduation outside on the football field. Please sign with your name so we can confirm it’s a senior signing!
