Welcome graduating High School* Senior Scratchers of the class of 2020!
Welcome Scratchers graduating middle school or elementrary school this year (and advancing to a high school or middle school next school year)!
Also welcome Student Scratchers who are recieving a degree from a college, university (or other higher education school or program) this year!
And lastly, welcome to anyone who is not graduating, but instead honoring one or more fellow Scratchers who are graduating this year.
*This is also reffered to as the last year of primary/grade school in places were there aren't high schools.
This is a Scratch graduation, designed to honor our fellow Scratchers (or you, if you are graduting this year) who are graduating or recieving a degree of some kind this year.
As a result of COVID-19 affecting most places around the world, many places that usually allow graduation ceremonies are not letting them to happen this year. We all spent years of our lives working towards this moment, to finally graduation high school or earn a degree, and then when the time has finally come, we are being denied the chance to be honored in the traditional way and with our friends and family there to support us. Many in the past got the opportunity, but those graduating this year did not.
Lets all come together to honor and celebrate our fellow graduating Scratchers of the Class of 2020!
A virtual graduation ceremony will be taking place on June 10, 2020.
It will not be live, but rather any related Scratch projects that will be a part of it, will be shared on that date.
----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------Graduation Event Information-
The Scratch Graduation Ceremony took place on June 10, 2020.
All of the Scratchers taking part in the ceremony remixed a project which included providing their OC wearing a cap and gown. Each OC was put into a project featuring an image of a virtual graduation ceremonies audience.
That project is at:

Each of the Scratchers taking part in the ceremony are given a special diploma, signed by @miles854 (who put together the virtual ceremony) and the commencment speakers. You can remix it and add your username. The diploma is at https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396805362/
Also on June 10, 2020, a project featuring a diploma for this virtual Scratch graduation will be shared. It will be "signed" by @miles854 (who planned/set up this graduation) and the commencment speakers.
Commencment Speakers*:
1. @mres
2. @StevenTheSquare
3. @KayOh (Scratch Team Member)
*The commencment speakers are popular Scratchers, as many schools with lots of graduates, especially many colleges and universities, often have celebrities or other famous people give a commencment speech.

This studio was created because studio owner @miles854 is graduating high school this year, and him, as well as many other Scratchers are missing out on a traditional graduation ceremony and Scratch has had a big impact on his life. These are the main reasons he decided to put together this Scratch graduation ceremony.
