As I look for silver linings amidst the shelter-in-place restrictions, a few things come to mind. The staff at BHS have done a nice job of getting to virtual and providing some live memories to grads. Tonight's virtual Senior Awards Night and Thursday's virtual graduation are first steps. The pre-recorded graduation will feature speeches by Superintendent Kevin Skelly, Board Member Linda Lees Dwyer, Principal Paul Belzer, and three graduating seniors as well as the BHS Choir and Band. In between is a family stroll through the gardens at Filoli tomorrow with a defined path and two ticketed entry times. I did a similar stroll through Filoli a week ago and the setting and the gardens are a welcome change of pace. The warm weather is expected to last through tomorrow so it should be nice down there in the evening. Willie Brown highlighted a similar "stroll" in his Sunday column: Monterey County grads and their families will get to drive the whole race course at Laguna Seca and get their diploma at the end. Sweet!
Congrats to the Class of 2020. Everyone will remember your year as something special.
