In Person Graduation for the Diocese of Camden Students

In Person Graduation for the Diocese of Camden Students

The Issue

Governor Murphy has kindly approved in person graduations for the Class of 2020 as of July 6th.  You can imagine how excited us parents were when the announcement was made.  We can see our children walk and receive the diploma they worked so hard to earn. 

Unfortunately, the Diocese of Camden will not allow in person graduations for our children. We were not given a clear reason why.  Our class sizes are remarkably much smaller than public school class sizes.  We can easily have a safe, in person graduation within all guidelines.  Larger schools with much larger class sizes have already planned theirs while we are still told no.  

We want the Diocese to reconsider and allow our students to have the same thing.  Parents are more than willing to help out in any way to make it possible.  This is extremely important to us because our children have lost out on so much already. This is all they have left. Let us give these children the recognition and closure they deserve before they move into the next chapter of their lives.  Let us do this for our kids!  

Thank you for your support
