Storms move area graduations indoors

The Tri-City area’s three graduations set for the next two days have been moved indoors because of inclement weather.
Berwick High School’s graduation Thursday will be in the school’s gymnasium at 7 p.m., while Patterson’s Friday ceremony at 7 p.m. also will be in its gym. Morgan City will hold its ceremony at 6 p.m. in the school’s Multi-Purpose Building.
At Berwick, doors will open at 6 p.m., while at Patterson, they will open at 5:45 p.m. Doors will open at 5 p.m. at Morgan City.
Patterson will have four entrances to its gym that will be posted.
Because of COVID safety protocol, all tickets will be in the bleachers at the three ceremonies. Guests need to have a mask to enter. Each family should come to the ceremony together and sit together, maintaining social distance from others. No one will be allowed to enter without a ticket.
At Berwick, no one will be allowed to enter the gym once the ceremony begins at 7 p.m., according to the school’s Facebook post, while Patterson’s Facebook post said the doors will close at 6:50 p.m.
Graduates at the three ceremonies will be required to wear a mask when they walk to receive their diplomas and take their pictures. The graduates are not required to wear masks while seated.
