To the Chamber, local businesses, KNUJ, and citizens of New Ulm:

Thank you to the Chamber for organizing the Senior Cruise, thank you to KNUJ and our local businesses who decorated their windows and provided gifts and prizes, and thank you to all the citizens that lined Minnesota Street to show your support to the Class of 2020.

This has been a bizarre spring, and the loss of so many senior events was unbelievable. The Senior Cruise was definitely the bright spot in a year ending with so much loss and disappointment. These students needed some show of support, and our community most definitely came through! As a parent of a Senior and a teacher of seniors, it was wonderful to see the joy and smiles back on their faces.

Thank you, New Ulm, for supporting these kids, recognizing their graduation, and giving them a little bit of happiness in the middle of fear and uncertainty.
