Memorial Day 2021
In honor of Memorial Day, Pleasanton Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6298 and American Legion Post 237 will be conducting a brief ceremony at the Veterans Memorial at Pioneer Cemetery on Sunol Boulevard in Pleasanton at 11 a.m. Monday.
The flags will be lowered to half-staff, followed by a prayer and a three-volley rifle salute, and then the flags will be raised. There will be no formal remarks or other presentation.
Over in Dublin, the city just launched this year’s Military Banner Program, which honors 12 local veterans and active duty service members with banners on display around town now through Veterans Day.
Most public agencies across the Tri-Valley will be closed in observance of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday.
Graduations on Friday
Pleasanton’s two comprehensive high schools are set to hold in-person graduation ceremonies this Friday evening (May 28) with health-and-safety protocols in place. Livestream and hosted virtual ceremonies will also be available in light of the pandemic.
“Ceremonies will be simplified/streamlined, without performances,” Pleasanton Unified School District spokesman Patrick Gannon told the Weekly. “In-person ceremony with students walking across stage — no hand shaking or handing out diplomas). Staff and board members will be giving elbows/chicken wings and students will pick up diploma from table on stage.”
Foothill High School’s ceremony will be first, at 5:30 p.m., and Amador Valley High School’s will follow at 7 p.m. Each event will be at that school’s stadium field and will last approximately one hour, Gannon said.
Village High School held its graduation ceremony on Wednesday morning at the district’s upper Bernal fields just above the Village campus.
Dublin bike survey
Dublin city officials have put out an online survey to gather community input as part of their process to update the city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
“Upon completion, the plan will include goals and recommendations to ensure that walking and biking in Dublin is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all ages and abilities,” city officials said. “Your input will help develop a plan that addresses the needs of people walking and biking in Dublin.”
The survey, estimated to take seven minutes to complete, is available at dublinbikeped.org/survey. Responses will be confidential and used solely for this planning process, officials said.
