2020 Graduates Togther!
Rounding out the week with a #351GratitudeMoment for all of the heartfelt, creative, and magnanimous ways educators, families, celebrities, and even, former Presidents, are celebrating the amazing Class of 2020!
We have special love for this Class as we celebrate three graduations -- our 8th graders, high school seniors, and college grads. As individuals, so remarkable. As a collective, they are the hope we wish to see in this world.
We wish we could magically restore their anticipated milestones, special events, and moments of timeless memories. We lack that superpower, and replace it with our heartfelt appreciation, admiration, and pride. And, hope that our virtual Leadership Reunion in June provides a measure of joy and magic!
But, tonight, we want to share a #351GratitudeMoment for the countless educators going door-to-door or leading car parades in celebration of their graduates. Providing each one with a special moment of joy and celebration. Their devotion fills out hearts.
As do the endless tributes by proud families, beaming with certainty of their graduates' unique brand of special. Their scholar, athlete, artist, activist, entrepreneur, change maker...ready to shine their shine in ways that illuminate our world.
This weekend, there are a few national celebrations of note. Tomorrow evening, "America Honors the High School Class of 2020" with #GraduateTogether -- a celebration produced by Lebron James.
Highlights include musical performance and messages of encouragement from special guests including Alicia Keys, Megan Rapinoe, Pharrell Williams, and Service Heroes Malala Yousafzai and Yara Shahidi.
The highlight of this tribute to grads will be a commencement address from former President Barack Obama.
So, after a day of outdoor exploration in the sunshine, celebrate your favorite graduate tomorrow at 8 p.m. Apparently, it is on every channel! A fitting tribute to the wonderful, resilient, hopeful, forward-looking, and amazing Class of 2020!
Graduates, educators, and families, this #351GratitudeMoment is for you!
