Congratulations Class of 2020!The COVID-19 pandemic closed lower valley high school campuses; however, the virus would not pre-vent us from recognizing graduating seniors. We know the last few months have been challenging, but this valiant senior class

now stands ready to lead unlike any class before. You all made it! Whether you are watching or listening to graduation speeches at home or taking part in a graduation ceremony later in the summer, remember to embrace this moment and

to keep pushing forward those dreams and goals which inspire you.

The Sunnyside Sun created a new website and this special publication to commemorate your achievements, while sharing them with the community. Information for each student in this publication was submitted by the students or their family members via our website at sunnysidesun.com/grads. If you missed the publication deadline, you may still submit your

free graduate profile on the website, which will be online for years to come.

We hope you enjoy our salute to the class of 2020. Good luck on your upcoming endeavors!
