EAST ORANGE TO HOLD GRADUATION CARAVAN  HONORING THE CLASS OF 2020 ON SAT, JUNE 13

June 12, 2020, East Orange, NJ:  Mayor Ted R. Green, the East Orange City Council and the Friends of the Class of 2020 will honor the graduating classes of 2020 with a special Graduation Caravan that will travel through the entire city on Saturday, June 13 beginning at 11am.

Residents are encouraged to practice social distancing and view the celebration from outside of their homes as the caravan travels through the city. The caravan will consist of a host of community members and supporters, including representatives from the East Orange City Council, EOPD, EOFD, teachers and faculty of the East Orange School District, the Corvette Boys, the Mayor’s Office, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and other local community organizations. 

 While virtual graduations are ongoing for East Orange schools, Mayor Green who is also a staunch advocate for young people and himself of graduate of East Orange Public Schools, wants to assure the Class of 2020 that their hard work and sacrifice did not go unnoticed despite the unprecedented circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic and recent social unrest that is plaguing our country. 

“The Class of 2020 will forever be engraved not just in my heart, but in the history of this city,” said Mayor Green. “I cannot imagine what it’s like to miss a graduation, one of the most important milestones and moments in a young person’s life. We needed to do something in a very big way to show them how proud we are of them!” 

 **Please Note** Every effort was made to reach as many graduates as possible, however, should a graduate not see their street listed, please look for the nearest intersection to join us there. You’ll hear us coming and you won’t be able to miss us!
