Students graduating from the English Ukrainian Bilingual Program (EUBP) in Dauphin will have a special event this weekend to mark the occasion.
A grad parade has been organized by Manitoba Parents for Ukrainian Education (MPUE).
President Paulette Monita and Vice President Barb Thiessen will bring their Ukraine-ified Chevrolet to Dauphin on Saturday.
“We’re going to show up at the doorstep of our grads. We’re going to hop out, we’re going to cheer and honk. We have a gift and a certificate to give to the graduates.”
The organization usually hosts a family celebration to celebrate graduation.
“When we determined we had to cancel that, we thought, ‘how can we honour these kids and give them something special and unique?’”
Graduates include Grade 8, who are finishing the English Ukrainian Bilingual Program at MacKenzie Middle School. Grade 5 from Smith Jackson will be graduating and moving on to the middle school.
The parade gets underway at 1 p.m.
For more information, you can head to the MPUE website. They'll also post photos along the way at the MPUE Facebook page.
