Lighting up a dark time

Cheney High School turned on the lights at Tom Oswald Field last Friday night to honor the graduating class of 2020 who had their spring quarter taken from them due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lights went on for 20 minutes and 20 seconds at 8:20 p.m., with students, staff and families urged to drive by in their vehicles and honk their horns for the class. Many residents along the loop, which wound its way through neighborhoods around the high school, turned out to wave at passersby and provide words of encouragement to the seniors.
