Unique Celebration

Unique celebration for Penhold Crossing graduating class of 2020

Jun 1, 2020 | 6:04 PM

Officials with the Town of Penhold and members of council unveiled a unique gift to the graduating class of Penhold Crossing Secondary School on Monday.

Mayor Mike Yargeau and Councillor Sharolyn Sanchez acknowledged all graduate by placing individual placards with the each graduate’s name and photo along Waskasoo Avenue in front of the Regional Multiplex.

“Unique situations call for unique ideas for celebrating our 2020 graduation class,” explained Mayor Yargeau, in a news release. “It may be a small gesture but I am very happy we were able to do something for the Penhold Crossing Secondary School Class of 2020.”

Officials say the Town invites graduates to take a picture with the signs until Friday when the signs can be taken home for grads to keep. However, everyone is invited to drive by the Multiplex and share in the celebration of the Class of 2020.

In his speech to grads, Mayor Yargeau said, “You may not be celebrating graduation as you had hoped, and because of that we wanted to make sure your efforts and accomplishments did not go unnoticed,” added Mayor Yargeau in his speech to grads on Monday. “Your graduation story will be like no other, the class of 2020 will share a special place in the history books.”
