The Class of 2021 graduation will now occur during one joint ceremony consisting of the entire graduating class.

Due to Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 restrictions being lifted near the end of May, Emmaus High School is now able to accommodate all seniors under one universal event.

Each graduate is allowed a six ticket maximum for guests.

The graduation ceremony will take place 1 p.m. June 13 at the PPL Center in Allentown.

East Penn School District is conducting a new T-shirt drive until May 21 for kids fighting against cancer. Collection boxes will be distributed by the Interact Club to all 10 East Penn schools and the central administration office.

Participants are asked to donate new shirts, sizes 2T through adult XL with tags. These donated shirts will then be turned into “zipshirts” by the nonprofit organization Zip With Us, Inc. This company makes these shirts for every pediatric cancer patient to ensure more convenience during treatments. Participants are also encouraged to pen a positive message or illustrate an encouraging drawing on an index card. These letters will be mailed alongside the zipshirts to the patients.
