Commencement Practice
The best way to make an event run smoothly is for all participants to know what is expected. This is why commencement practice is so important.

We will meet in the gym by the bleachers for a few announcements. Then, we will line up in the hallway by the weight room. Name cards will show where you should be in line.

Once everyone is in line, we’ll march in and sit as we will on Commencement Day. We will then go through the program and answer all your questions.
