Thirteen years of school and the grand finale is supposed to be your senioryear: prom, graduation, getting your yearbooks and all your friends signingthem. And then the novel coronavirus hits and your senior year is, inessence, canceled. How can you have a “senior ditch day” when you arebeing homeschooled?
School Board Member Maritza Travanti had an idea: yard signs to tellthe community that a graduating high school senior lives in that house. Thisweek those signs are being distributed to Monrovia High School seniors as wellas those from Canyon Oaks and Mountain Park High Schools.
The signs should be popping up like mushrooms in yards all overtown. When you see one: toot your horn, give a thumbs up and remember yourown senior year in high school. These graduates will have bittersweetmemories. As a community let’s try to sweeten them a bit.
