1201 89th Ave. NE Suite 335 Blaine, MN 55434 facebook.com/metronorthABE metronorthABE.org 763-433-4200 2020 Graduation postponed After working so hard, an in-person graduation ceremony is what many of our learners look forward to. Many graduates want to put on that cap and gown and walk across the stage in front of their friends and family. Following guidance from the Minnesota Departments of Education and Health, we have decided to postpone our traditional in-person ceremony. We will be setting a date sometime in the future when we can all come together again to celebrate safely. However, we will be celebrating on June 3rd at 7 p.m. through an online celebration to acknowledge their achievement. Please join us on our Facebook page, facebook. com/metronorthABE. Link with us! The work shown in this issue could not have happened without the collective effort of our partners. Schools, businesses and service providers came together to lift up the prospects of adults in our community and allowed them to live life to their full potential.
