NICK EICHER, HOST: Here’s ingenuity for you…
Graduating seniors at Somerset Island Prep in Key West, Florida weren’t about to skip graduation, but neither were they going to violate social-distancing rules.
So they gathered together—wearing caps and gowns, masks and life jackets and wave-runners!
Each senior rode past an anchored boat where the principal handed the student his or her diploma on a pole.
Board chairman Todd German said the unconventional event “is a perfect example of the innovative mindset” that defines the school.
BASHAM: Virus or no, I see this becoming a tradition!
EICHER: Where there’s a will, there’s a wave!
It’s The World and Everything in It.
