Congratulations to the Graduates of 2020 Coloring Page

Graduate 2020

The following drawing is of a young woman who is family to us.  She is a dancer and a recent high school graduate.  We are so proud of her.  She had a graduation photo of herself in an isolated place.  (There are lots of isolated places in a big desert state like Utah.) 

The photo was posted on Facebook and I was touched.  The photo kind of says it all.  No big graduation party, no walk onto the stage to get a handshake and your diploma that you worked so hard for. p

The COVID-19 pandemic changed so much for these young people. 

No hanging out with friends to celebrate etc.  And these young people probably missed proms, social time with friends, and they certainly missed time learning face to face with teachers while among their friends.

Some of these students missed opportunities for senior trips, participation in winter and spring sports, and for those in the arts: 

there were dance performances, band and orchestra performances, even on stage poetry performances... etc. etc.  

So, my heart goes out to these young people who had to adapt to online school and etc.  I also want to congratulate the College Graduates who had to make the same kind of adjustments to the end of their College or University senior year.  

This drawing can be found, in printable form, by clicking on the button labeled "Holidays." 

Then scroll down and look for the label:  Graduation.  I struggled to figure out what category for this picture, but graduation is certainly a type of holiday.   I must warn you that each of my printable pages had to be scanned as a PDF file.  The PDF files do not scan as well as the PNG file of the main blog post.  So if you can figure out how to copy and paste the version of the drawing on this blog page... you will be getting a better drawing.   By the way, the original drawing is going to the model... who is also the graduate in the picture.  

P.S.  I just darkened the picture for the PDF or Printable version so it is under the button: Holidays.

This should print better now.  .  . if you want to print the picture to color it... or to turn it into a graduation card etc.  The adjusted drawing will be a bit different from the drawing posted here on the main blog.
