NICKERSON, Kan. — Nickerson USD 309 sent out letters along with five tickets to its 2020 graduates Monday.
"You must have a ticket to attend," said Nickerson High School principal Rick Blosser "We will be social distancing in the gym the best we can, so we are limited to the numbers we can have in attendance."
The gym will be marked for families to sit in groups of five and families will be seated in the marked areas.
"We will also live stream the event for those individuals who are unable to attend," Blosser said. "Masks will be required to wear."
