📣 Graduation Ceremony Update – Decision Coming by 6:30 PM
Dear KHS Families and Community,
As we prepare for tonight’s graduation ceremony, we want to keep you informed about the decision-making process regarding the location of the event. A final decision will be made and announced by 6:30 PM this evening.
We are carefully considering several key factors, including:
The setup time required for the sound system
The condition of the field and seating due to recent rain
Our readiness to move the ceremony indoors to the KHS gym if necessary
🌟 Please note: Regardless of whether the ceremony is held outdoors or indoors, all attendees must have a ticket to enter.
We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure a safe and memorable celebration for our graduates and their families. Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Richie Leeker
KSD #39 Superintendent
