It wasn’t just local high schools that relished the chance to hold in-person graduations this summer. Schools in the K-8 Mountain View Whisman district also celebrated. We got a firsthand view of two of the pandemic-altered events. Here are some of our favorite scenes from Bubb Elementary and Graham Middle schools’ events.

  1. Its very nice to see all the “I graduated from …” signs around the community from our MVWSD (public school) student families. Congradulations students, parents, and teachers.

    Justice Breyer of the US Suprement Court, “… because America’s public schools are the nurseries of democracy.” (a very recent public school decision)
