This is a tough time for the class of 2020. Our kids are missing out on the last months of their final year of high school. No sports, no class trips, no performances, no prom, and maybe even no graduation ceremony. This will certainly be a memorable senior year, but not for the reasons it should be. They are enjoying lots of family time, sleeping in and staying up late, but missing their friends and so much more!
So... We want to do something to recognize these special kids in the best way we know how - this website! A yearbook of sorts for all the graduates in Brevard County - VPK, 6th grade, high school, and college! Will it fill the void of all they are missing? No, not even close. But we hope it brings smiles to the faces of friends and family members when they see their son, daughter, friend, grandchild, niece, nephew, or neighbor recognized in this small way.
