HAPPY GRADUATION TO all students, this strange COVID-19 season, as we tip our caps (and face masks) to all, but especially to the students of Kennett High who are celebrating their big day today with an unusual chairlift ride on the Skimobile Express quad to the summit of Cranmore, where ceremonies will be held.
As Conway Daily Sun education reporter Lloyd Jones reported, graduation is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m., running until about 4 p.m. For each of the approximately 165 students who are graduating, the ceremony will take a little more than half an hour, including the chairlift ride in which he or she will be accompanied by up to four guests.
