This has been an unprecedented time for us all, especially the graduation class of 2020. But they have endured and overcome!
Since Senior year was cut short and our children and students are missing out on so many memorable senior events, some ways you can show them some love and care is to “Adopt A Senior” or a few if you’d like. You can decorate their yard, send a gift card, flowers or a graduation card—anything to put a smile on their face and let them know youe’re incredibly proud of them.
There’s also a cool, new Facebook page that allows you to “Adopt” a senior. Simply visit “Adopt” A Senior Okaloosa County and type “Adopt” in the comments. Then send a private message to the person who posted the picture to work out the details with them. There can be more than one person to adopt a senior. To place your senior up for adoption, they must be a senior at an Okaloosa County high school. Visit “Adopt” A Senior Okaloosa County. Then post a picture of them with their name and high school. Type “UP FOR ADOPTION” at the top, and list a few of their likes. Then share this page with as many as you wish.
Freeport High School has tentatively set its graduation ceremony date for July 21st! In the meantime, Freeport HS is highlighting its individual 2020 Seniors daily on the Freeport High School Facebook page. You can also check out the Class of 2020 Senior memories on YouTube at https://youtu.be/nxUR10TZ0B4 and the FHS Awards Ceremony at https://youtu.be/9kjVhiDSTi0.
