Actually, we did bring it up. We already explained to the class that we didn’t see it as the best fitting option considering that a lot of us will be leaving off island. https://twitter.com/lanadabella/status/1265450691528552448

We’ve had discussions. We’ve asked for opinions and suggestions. Don’t blame us because you probably weren’t present at the time of the discussion. We’ve listened to the suggestions & we made the decision that the drive-thru ceremony was the safest & best fitting option for all

We also had a class zoom meeting. Your lack of presence wasn’t our fault. We announced it & you didn’t show. I refuse to have the class council & the graduation committee being blamed for something we didn’t do.

We expressed our understanding of our class’s grief in regards to not being able to hold a traditional ceremony, but there is so much more to the planning process of a graduation ceremony than you will ever understand because you are not involved in the paperwork side of things

There are protocols to follow and so much work that’s being put into this. As for our class funds, once again, we announced where our money is going in our meeting. And again, it is not our fault that you didn’t join in on the meeting.

So please, before you start pointing fingers, gather the facts of the situation. I don’t take slander very lightly in cases like this.
