Congrats to the graduates on your achievements during this challenging time. Well done! Your joy in this happy moment warms our hearts.

When my youngest graduated from Gunn last year, we participated in the parade & it was heartwarming to see so many community members who came out to cheer along the route. So I joined the crowd in front of Gunn last night to cheer on the class of 2021. There were several cars (driven by & with groups of students/graduates in the same car). My concern is one of safety/liability as we saw numerous cars w/ grads standing up, sitting on open window ledges, leaning out of sun roofs, standing up in open truck beds, etc. The grads are rightly joyous & celebratory. Yet there was no police escort in sight, and as the cars sped up & turned corners on Arastradero , several of us parents where concerned about the likely risk of a grad falling out of a moving car & getting injured or worse. Please consider adding some police escorts along the route next year - it’s fine in slow areas but on open stretches that are less crowded (like Arastradero) we really need to teach our young people about safety & have some enforcement for these young adults.
