Yesterday we went to school and picked up my son's toolbox and work boots.  Today we picked up his cap and gown, along with a ticket for the drive-in movie theater.  In place of the usual senior celebrations and commencement, the local schools are having to change things.  Our school is having a small graduation thing where he will get to walk across a stage and get a diploma, though I'm not sure how that will work with 'social distancing'.  They're taking pictures and 'interviewing' him about his future plans.  On another day they're having a parade (in cars) through town.  Then there will be a 'drive-in graduation', where they will show a video of the graduation stuff showing at the drive-in movie theater.  I've seen at least two other local schools are having shows at the drive-in, which I think will be neat.
