00:00.205 --> 00:01.038
(gentle music)

00:01.038 --> 00:02.780
- [Taryn] After spending
their final semester

00:02.780 --> 00:05.130
of school with digital classes from home,

00:05.130 --> 00:08.370
the high school seniors
made it to graduation day.

00:08.370 --> 00:11.030
Due to COVID-19, there were restrictions

00:11.030 --> 00:13.900
and limitations that people
still had to keep in mind.

00:13.900 --> 00:15.950
The graduation ceremony was limited

00:15.950 --> 00:18.260
to the graduates, their
immediate families,

00:18.260 --> 00:20.130
and the central school personnel only.

00:20.130 --> 00:23.580
However, there was a Facebook
Live for people to enjoy.

00:23.580 --> 00:26.100
Physical distancing
and sanitizing stations

00:26.100 --> 00:28.490
were also implemented
throughout the ceremony.

00:28.490 --> 00:30.860
Even though there were limitations,

00:30.860 --> 00:33.220
it didn't stop the Aviano community

00:33.220 --> 00:35.106
from celebrating the
39 graduating seniors.

00:35.106 --> 00:36.530
(crowd applauds)

00:36.530 --> 00:38.380
After the graduation ceremony,

00:38.380 --> 00:39.213
the graduates
(car horns honk)

00:39.213 --> 00:41.130
were escorted by security forces

00:41.130 --> 00:43.860
for a vehicle parade where
people from the community

00:43.860 --> 00:47.843
came and celebrated the
graduating class of 2020.

00:47.843 --> 00:50.510
