Members of Whippet Class of 2020 Surprised with Yard Signs

In the gorgeous sunshine of Sunday afternoon, April 26, approximately 25 Whitewater High School staff members and some of their family members met in the high school parking lot to pick up yard signs to be delivered to each of the 150 seniors in the Class of 2020. 

Ms. Kate McNulty and Ms. Teri Hamilton, senior class advisors, had carefully divided the graduates into groups based on the proximity of their addresses, and staff members set off individually or in pairs to make as much noise as possible and celebrate the members of the senior class while maintaining social distancing guidelines. 

Seniors and their families received messages at 12:15 letting them know to put on their Whippet Wear and get ready for a surprise delivery between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Although a few of the graduates were at work during that time, the vast majority of families were home and came out to take photos with their signs after being alerted to the delivery by the honking of car horns, the banging of pots and pans, and the ringing of bells. 

Whitewater High School is proud to celebrate the Class of 2020! Go, Whippets!
