The Class of 2021 deserves graduation. We have endured hardships that classes before us couldn't possibly imagine. We've lived through a race war, riots at the capitol, violence throughout the city, and a pandemic. We've pushed through with the hope that we will be able to graduate in person with our friends and family. The School District of Philadelphia will allow children to go back to school and risk their lives playing contact sports, but it won't allow the graduating Class of 2021 to walk across the stage and receive the diploma that we have strived so hard for. 

Please sign and share this petition; it will be sent to the School District of Philadelphia to allow socially distanced in-person graduation for all Philadelphia public schools!

If innovation isn't possible in the School District of Philadelphia, then where is it possible?
