Graduation Date Announced, Don't Prank: Lincoln-Sudbury High

SUDBURY, MA—It's not cool, or safe, or kind to the animal to release a donkey into the hallways of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.

Pranks are among the many subjects touched upon in a recent letter to the student body, where school officials addressed the end of the school year, specifically for graduating seniors from Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School.

"In brief, we will stress to seniors that the end of high school can be joyous and fun, and this should be balanced with an eye toward sensibility and safety," wrote Superintendent Bella Wong. "We will share concerns regarding overly exuberant senior pranks in an effort to avoid tasteless, costly and/or unsafe stunts. We will need your intervention with regard to these sorts of pranks."

Graduation ceremonies take place on the campus of the high school at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 3.

"We hope that the timing of the afternoon ceremony will enable out-of-town family to be part of the celebration, while also allowing your graduate to enjoy a family dinner before attending Jamaica Jammin’."

Jamaica Jammin' is this year's "Senior Safe Night," an extended graduation celebration open to all seniors (see below for more on this in the senior calendar).

A meeting for all parents of seniors is held on Tuesday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium, where graduation, senior events and obligations are discussed. At least one parent/guardian per family is expected to attend.

Members of the Class of 2018 and our MLK Action Project will be continuing the Day of Service tradition during Senior Week.

Wednesday, May 30, is the senior day of service.

"We hope every senior will participate," wrote Wong. "This graduating class has the potential to leave a lasting legacy by collectively providing over 1500 hours of community service in just one day. Please encourage your student to take part in this tradition."
