In Ventura County, an online group headed by local moms aims to celebrate the class of 2021.
The Facebook group was started last year by Camarillo resident Sara Reeves. The group allows families to post about their child, who is then adopted by a fellow community member.
Once adopted, the community member will give some sort of gift to the graduate virtually, by mail or in person using safety protocols. The value and quantity are up to the individual, the idea being it s the thought that counts, not the amount.
The group s main focus is high school seniors, but this year, the month of March is being dedicated to eighth grade graduates.
