Neepawa Area Collegiate held a drive-in style graduation on Saturday, June 26.
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press For the second straight year, the graduation ceremony at Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute (NACI) was a bit different from what many parents and family members perhaps would have likely preferred. For the graduating students of 2021, however, the more unusual ceremony didn’t at all take away from the significant of the moment. A socially distanced drive-in ceremony was held on Sat-

urday, June 26. A stage was set up outside on the school’s football field and vehicles were allowed to park around it. Grads, parents and other well wishers could listen to the ceremony in the comfort of their vehicles, as Look-Music services, based out of Brandon, was able to broadcast the speeches over the radio on FM frequency 89.1. The graduating students were then called up to stage in small groups of 20 to receive their diplomas. The festivities were formally kicked off by comments from NACI principal Kelvin Hollier. “During a normal, non-pandemic school year, we’d usu-
ally start off with bringing the grads into the Yellowhead Centre. The grads would march in, we’d all be so happy and excited for them,” said Hollier. “But since this was a very abnormal year, with an abnormal graduation day, let’s do something abnormal. I would ask that all grads, if you are in your vehicles, please step outside, stand up, face the stage. I would like all of you to turn, wave to the people around you and give a smile. And to all, give [the graduating students] a round of applause.” Continued on Page 8
