We've watched as thousands of schools have curbed their graduation ceremonies for students due to COVID-19. The pandemic's at-home orders may be lifted soon, but the Class of 2020 still missed out on celebrating their big days with alongside their friends in-person. It looks as if Namiko still had a wonderful day with her family, and we're sure that once it's safer, the pre-teen will celebrate in style.
