We the class of 2016, while not condoning the breaking of rules, respectfully ask that punishments given meet the level of activity . Our classmates did break the, "No Senior Prank" rule, a long standing and even negotiated tradition at Green River High School.

However, we do not believe that preventing these individuals and their families the earned right to stand with us at graduation is an appropriate punishment for their actions.

We, the class of 2016 respectfully request from the board a more appropriate punishment be given to those who have impacted not only our lives, but the lives of the people in the community of Green River as well. Not allowing these students the honor of walking at graduation punishes them, their families, and us, their classmates. Please do not allow this to be the legacy left behind by the class of 2016.
