Seniors, the Stole Ceremony is an opportunity for you to invite one person who has helped you get to graduation (a parent, other family member, teacher, coach, etc.) to participate in this portion of awards day with you. Take a moment to figure out who that person is and invite them to join you. They will walk in with you and participate in this memorable moment with you.
