Gabriel Puterman is a member of the senior class of 2021 who was banned from the graduation ceremony as a punishment for misbehavior.

Even though Gabriel made some mistakes throughout the year, we, his friends, believe that this punishment is too severe.

Everyone dreams of graduating high school with their friends, and as Gabriel's friends, he was always present in our dreams.

Please keep in mind that by restraining Gabriel from the event, his friends are the ones being punished.

We will remember graduation for the rest of our lives. Taking this memory away from Gabriel is an extremely harsh punishment and we believe that there are other ways to solve this situation.
