MASSENA â Like the Class of 2020, seniors in Massena Central High Schoolâs Class of 2021 are missing out on many of the final year perks because of COVID-19.
They may not have some of the traditional events like pep rallies and prom, but theyâre not being forgotten thanks to a group of parents that is organizing an âAdopt a Seniorâ program.
Teacher Kerry Perretta, the mother of a senior, said Massena was one of many districts throughout the United States that began the program last year to support the seniors.
âA group of parents did it last year. They did it right around graduation time. We wanted to move Adopt a Senior away from graduation this year, just to keep it separate from graduation,â she said.
