We were promised on multiple occasions that graduation would be on the football field and its always super crowded in the gym. It would work way better on the football field. There is no good reason for it to continue to be in the gym.(Purcell, 2020-05-20)

Graduation is a right of passage that these students have worked hard for and this class has had so much taken away from their final year. What an honor it would be to have graduation at the new Conger Field. This choice should belong to the students.(Purcell, Ok, 2020-05-20)

I am a class of 2020 graduate and attended Purcell Public Schools K - 7th grade. As someone who holds Purcell’s Class of 2020 so dear to my heart, it is important to me that they receive the adequate graduation they deserve. Once a dragon, always a dragon!(Slocomb, 2020-05-20)

because as an alumni I believe all seniors should get a graduation and the graduation on the gym is horrible(Purcell, 2020-05-20)

I’m a father of a senior and have witnessed countless hours of hard work and dedication my son and many others has invested in this school.With all the challenges they have faced the past few months has been tough but now being told they cannot hold graduation at the field when they were promised is absurd.
As a tax payer, this 3.6 million dollar facility we’re paying for needs to be used for more than playing football. If the excuse of a field protector was a decision factor of not having graduation on it, why wasn’t it already part of the budget? That’s how many other schools all over generate more money by holding other events on it.

To support the graduation at the Purcell football field for the class of 2020. The administration has an opportunity to model INTEGRITY to these graduates and not just use the term in a flowery graduation speech. Integrity is what will move our community, state and nation to continue to relish the freedoms that many of our great men and women have given their lives to preserve. Purcell Administration/School Board-Integrity.(Purcell, 2020-05-21)

This would be a preferred venue because it will be open space and social distancing would be easier. I also think this is hands down a gr8 area for graduations. I was sonsad after they built the new HS that this wasn't a option anymore. The gym can be back up option.(NOBLE, 2020-05-21)
#58
These kids should have it the way They want it after all they've been through.Shame on whoever wants to keep them from having the graduation they want.

My kid and all the other seniors of the 2020 class deserve graduate safely and to be able to invite more family and friends to their ceremony.They have already lost enough. Don't go back on your promise.

I have a senior and I think it’s unfair. You can play a game on the field but you can’t put a chair on it. That’s totally ridiculous.(Burns Flat, 2020-05-21)

This is ridiculous, there should be chairs allowed on the stupid field - like cleets and playing doesn't damage it? come on! use your brain!(Norman, 2020-05-21)

I believe that the Dragon tradition of holding graduation on Conger Field should be allowed to happen for these seniors. This has been a difficult year for them with everything going on and this is the least we could do. They deserve this!(Purcell, 2020-05-22)
