On Saturday, Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School held the graduation ceremony for the class of 2020 and the class of 2021. The class of 2020 already received their diplomas, but COVID-19 prevented them from having a proper graduation ceremony. The event happened under a tent on the school grounds.
The class of 2020 and 2021 collectively presented a gift to the school: a blue flag with a shooting star and white six white pillars. The pillars resemble the six pillars of MVPCS: Trust, responsibility, respect, democracy, freedom, and cooperation.
Some of the students were presented with scholarships during the event. Anne Williamson, board chair of the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation, awarded the $3,400 of the Anne Medeiros Kent Scholarship Fund to Max, and the $2,000 Grace McDonald Art Award to Hannah. Williamson hopes the scholarship recipients keep in touch with the foundation.
