Johnston County Public Schools have football stadiums that can safely host 750 to 1000 people for high school graduations with social distancing. So do most other counties. The proposed drive through graduations are unacceptable. Parents and Seniors demand that Johnston County provide safely designed opportunities for outdoor graduation ceremonies. Students and guests can be masked and socially distant (and outside with God's fresh air to dissipate potential germs). 

Parents are willing to help with planning and executing these in-person graduations. Please help us to give our kids a joyous memory to end their years in JoCo schools. Help us to show these kids that their graduation is a milestone to celebrate not a moment in isolation. 

You want these kids to grow up and take on leadership in the world. Let's show them how adults can be creative in a crisis; celebrate without fear; and be safe but joyful at the same time! 

Please sign this petition to show your support for safe, well-planned outdoor graduation ceremonies for all Johnston County and NC public schools. Thank you!
