YouTube<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\nPlewe said graduating with the uncertainties surrounding a pandemic crisis, reminded her of the saying, \u201cThe best laid schemes of mice of men often go awry,\u201d derived from a Robert Burns poem.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow fitting \u2013 we have been planning what to do after high school our whole lives, now that it is time to take action plans are halted, maybe canceled and left in the air,\u201d Plewe said.<\/p>\n
She is inspired by the advice of Dieter Uchtdorf, who said: \u201cAs we lose ourselves in the service of others, we discover our own lives and our own happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Find ways to serve others, Plewe urged, whether it is helping a neighbor, contributing your labor, or \u201cvoting yes on a mill levy for teacher pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cServing others brings peace and happiness no worldly riches could,\u201d she said. \u201cSeize the opportunity to make a difference in someone else\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frizzell said he took the advice of his friends to take his speech seriously, rather than going with a more comical approach.<\/p>\n
He urged fellow graduates to continue with the discipline and work ethic that got them through 13 years of school.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou held onto your good habits instead of the bad ones, which not everyone can do,\u201d he said. \u201cCongratulations for obtaining this prestigious thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stick to your beliefs and trust yourself, Frizzell continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetermine how you want our life to be and continue to push yourself with the same good habits you have been practicing to graduate,\u201d he said. \u201cLet your display of determination to graduate empower you going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Starting at 4:30 p.m., seniors and their families lined Seventh Street, with cars decked in senior banners and balloons fluttering in the light breeze. The soon-to-be grads arrived in cap and gown and masks of all sorts, riding shotgun or atop vehicles.<\/p>\n
Two firetrucks raised a flag bridge for the parade of vehicles to pass under before entering into the parking lot, and a few law enforcement officials on bikes were on hand to keep onlookers and participants in line.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night at 6 p.m., the district released a special YouTube premiere of the M-CHS Parade of Graduates and Drive-thru Graduation Ceremony with prerecorded speeches. The link to the ceremony was released via email and on Facebook.<\/p>\n
