Creative COVID-19 modifications by the school directed cars to pull into the parking lot in a U-shape, and all facing a makeshift stage area. Several cars arrived decked-out for the occasion sporting green and gold balloons, ribbons, bows, and messages on vehicle window glass.<\/p>\n

Principal Hayley Crimmins offered a brief speech prior to announcing each student\u2019s name. Teachers delivered gift bags and \u201cair hugs\u201d to their students, many of whom sat atop the roof of their cars.<\/p>\n

Students and parents rang cowbells and honked car horns after each recipient was acknowledged. The event commenced as a disc jockey played a class theme song, \u201cCount on Me\u201d by Bruno Mars, and was followed by a car parade, led by Jan Werner of the Apalachin Fire Department, through the hills of Tioga Terrace.<\/p>\n
