A virtual graduation is scheduled for the North Schuylkill Class of 2020 for Wednesday evening but prior to that, the graduating seniors participated in parade through the communities of the district to allow everyone to celebrate along with them.
The parade included decorated school buses that carried the graduating seniors (socially distanced of course), along with many community organizations that followed along that included Friendship Fire Company, of Englewood, the Goodwill Hose Company, of Frackville, the Rangers Hose Company, of Girardville, the Fountain Springs Fire Company, the Lavelle Fire Company, the Aristes Fire Company, the Washington Fire Company Community Ambulance, of Ashland, the American Hose Company, of Ashland, the Centralia Fire Company, the Gordon Fire Company, the Ringtown Valley Fire Company, the Girardville Police Department, the Butler Township Police Department, the Frackville Police Department, and T102/WPPA radio.
The parade began at the Fire School near Frackville, travelled through Frackville to Creswell Gardens, and passed by the North Schuylkill Elementary and the High School where their former teachers stood and clapped and yelled as they passed by.
The parade continued to Gordon, then to Lavelle, Locust Dale, Ashland, Girardville, Aristes, and ended in Ringtown.
"The School District has gone above and beyond for these seniors. Between the parade and two days of diplomas, they have helped these kids get the recognition they deserved!" said Mandy Reed, a paraprofessional for North Schuylkill Elementary.
