🎓 Commencement Update: Ceremony Moved Indoors 🎓 Due to current weather conditions and an unfavorable forecast, tonight’s Class of 2025 Commencement Ceremony will be held indoors in the Junior High Gym as originally scheduled: 🕕 Friday, May 30 at 6:00 PM While we hoped to celebrate under the stars at Viking Stadium, the safety and comfort of our students, families, and guests must come first. With high winds, rain, and cool temps expected, postponing would only delay the inevitable. 📍 All event times remain the same 🎟️ A limited number of extra tickets (up to 2 per graduate) are available by phone and must be picked up by 3:00 PM today 📺 Watch the ceremony live via our school’s broadcast channel 💺 Overflow seating will be available in the auditorium for guests without gym tickets Thank you for your understanding and support as we honor the Class of 2025! 💙❤️🛡️ #VikingPride #ClassOf2025 #MPASDGraduation

🎓 Class of 2025 Commencement Update 🎓 As Principal Gumbita reminds us in the letter disseminated today, flexibility is key—especially with the unpredictable weather we’ve seen this spring. 🌦️ ✅ Graduation is scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025, at 6:00 PM in Viking Stadium. 🎓 Our goal remains to celebrate this milestone outdoors, surrounded by as many loved ones as possible. 📣 Weather Determination Times: A decision for Friday will be made by 3:00 PM that day. If postponed, Commencement will be held Saturday, May 31 at 11:00 AM—rain or shine. If Saturday’s weather doesn’t cooperate, the ceremony will move indoors to the Junior High Gymnasium, with a final decision by 9:00 AM Saturday. 🎟️ Each graduate will receive 6 tickets for an indoor ceremony. Overflow seating and a live broadcast will be available. Thank you for your patience and support as we honor the incredible Class of 2025! 💙💛 📄 Read Principal Gumbita’s full message here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DclJE19iqtvdfaPnfxop4zYZMUfaxFwkTsKlEGc0pCM/edit?usp=sharing
