Riverside School held a parking lot graduation last week for eighth-graders.

The students were seated at an acceptable social distance, while parents and relatives watched from their vehicles in the school parking lot.

Superintendent David Garner said the normal applause for each student was replaced with honking car horns.

“One parent came equipped with a bubble machine,” Garner said.

Strong winds prevented many of the planned decorations, but “overall, the ceremony was fun for all involved.”

The event ended with the middle school teachers and board members attacking students with silly string and confetti, all from a safe distance.

“The goal was to recognize the graduates and have some laughs in spite of all that’s going on around us,” Garner said. “Goal achieved.”
