Our hearts go out to all the seniors of the Yakima Valley and the nation really, who have missed out on the great moments of their final year of school--he hugs of joy, the sense of accomplishment that is the graduation ceremony and the final good-by to teachers and friends.  We appreciate you, your efforts and wish you the very best in your next steps in life.
