Focusing On Accomplishments WHS Slates Graduation Experiences For Class Of 2020 By Ann Mead Ash

On May 1, a letter from the office of Dr. April Hershey, superintendent of Warwick School District, was sent to Warwick families. The letter discussed the completion of the school year, touching on everything from Staff Appreciation Week to the daunting task of cleaning out lockers. Hershey’s letter also addressed the important issue of graduating the Warwick High School (WHS) Class of 2020. “We have spent … hours … planning … to create a

meaningful experience for our amazing seniors and their families,” explained Hershey in the letter. She also noted that doing so while protecting the health and safety of everyone in the community within COVID-19 guidelines was foremost in the minds of planners. Hershey’s letter also outlined the goals for graduation, which include giving each student and immediate family members a chance to experience the joy of the occasion in a personal way. Organizers also endeavored to allow every student and family to see classmates enjoy the experience. Ultimately, the school district sought to achieve both those goals while “ensuring the health and safety of every student, family

member, staff member, and board member by complying with regulations for social distancing in a small group setting,” according to the communication. Hershey explained that the details of the plans are based on student suggestions, with additional input from the Class of 2020 officers. “As we planned for graduation, we researched what other schools were planning and listened to suggestions from families, worked closely with our seniors, and, working together as a team, we found a way to achieve the three priorities we set to honor our seniors,” said Hershey. “One of our main goals was to have that face-to-face time with the seniors, whom we love so dearly. These are the See Warwick pg 3

COBYS Family Services celebrated 40 years in the Lancaster area at a banquet on March 12. The numbers being held up represent the more than 60,000 unique points of service COBYS has provided over four decades to children, adults, and families in the area. By Ann Mead Ash

When COBYS Family Services held its 40th anniversary banquet celebration at Middle Creek Church of the Brethren on March 12, most of the presentations were made by video. “We didn’t do

that because of COVID-19,” said Anne Stokes, director of development for COBYS, who was the program’s master of ceremonies with executive director Mark Cunningham. “It was just an easier way to do them.” One of the video appearances was made by See COBYS pg 2
