D’Agostino said the district and the Kendall Faculty Association are trying to make seniors feel special during a difficult end of their senior year. The students have been out of school since March 16 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They continue to do remote and on-line learning from their homes.
The caravan on Friday lasted three hours as the vehicles went by all the addresses for Kendall’s Class of 2020.
The school sign lets students and teachers know they are missed.
