Oliver Ames Class Of 2020 Events Likely Pushed To 2021

EASTON, MA — The Oliver Ames class of 2020 may have to hold some of its traditional senior events at its one-year high school reunion.

With the state still restricting the size of gatherings and keeping social distancing guidelines in place for the foreseeable future, class officials acknowledged plans to have some of the events, such as the prom, later this summer — after they could not occur this spring due to the coronavirus health crisis — are starting to dim.

One event the graduates are set to enjoy is a graduation car parade scheduled for July 26.

Graduates and their families are invited to drive a 3-mile loop starting and ending at Oliver Ames. Residents are encouraged to cheer on the graduates along the route.

Graduates must be seated in the passenger seat of a car driven by a family member or someone from their household. Graduates may decorate cars, but must stay in their cars.

Those cheering on the graduates are asked to maintain at least 6 feet of social distancing along the route.
