The level of engagement this petition has received underscores how deeply the Cranston West community values the tradition of an in-person graduation. This momentum provides a clear mandate as we continue our efforts to advocate for a delayed ceremony.

The kids in and Cranston West I feel do deserve a recognition ceremony, as well as other cities and towns in the state. I as a parent of 3 loved seeing my children walk that walk. Every parent deserves to feel PROUD. Smithfield
There is plenty of time to hold a commencement and prom when this is over before these seniors go off to college
Please give these Seniors the ceremony they deserve! We don't mind waiting! Just please don't cancel and please don't do a vitual ceremony!!! Thank You
The seniors deserve a graduation to recognize all of their hard work. It wouldn’t be fair to take this away for these students as they have watched others before them walk the stage and will continue to watch others after them. They deserve that right too. It wouldn’t be fair that this class has to have such an accomplishment taken from them. Reschedule it to a later date!!
They work hard for 12 years to walk across the stage please don’t take this away from them
As part of the rituals in our life there are certain milestones we gaze upon as we walk through life. The graduation ceremony is one of those big milestones, that every young adult looks forward to. It is their reward for all the years of work and growth that they have invested in their high school career. As adults who have already enjoyed this moment in our life we should strive to do everything we can to allow the graduates of 2020, to have their moment. It is not their fault that the world stopped during their senior year. It is not their fault that a health epidemic stole the final moments of their senior year- their prom, award ceremonies, senior trips, and graduation preparation rituals. If the world can stop and shelter in place to protect vulnerable Americans from a virus- we can make arrangements for graduation ceremonies once this is over and before they begin their College careers. Were there is a will there is a way!
Give the kids the honor they deserve.. figure it out.

These seniors and their parents deserve the consideration of a graduation no matter how it’s done in the name of safety and social distancing.
