BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 High school seniors around the world have had to make myriad sacrifices to help keep their respective communities safe amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, forgoing a traditional prom, cutting short their final athletic endeavors and having to graduate virtually.<\/p>\n

But here in Summit County, officials and community members have come together to give the class of 2020 a memorable send-off.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, May 21, community members are invited to Main Street in Breckenridge to take part in a celebratory motorcade procession to honor the senior class.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really great thing for these kids,\u201d Breckenridge Mayor Eric Mamula said. \u201cThey\u2019re losing out on a lot of things that most of us had when we graduated high school. \u2026 I think it\u2019s important the community rallies together for this kind of thing. That\u2019s the kind of county we have, where everybody pulls together. I think it\u2019s awesome, and it\u2019s something to remember as they graduate and move on to the next phases of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
