Stella Fanco walks across the front to receive her graduation certificate as students from the Young Scholars Academy preschool and prekindergarten in Draper attend their graduation program on Wednesday. The academy traditionally holds its graduation in an elementary school auditorium, but to maintain social distancing the program took place in the school’s parking lot. The children got a chance during the event to perform numbers from their Spring Program, which had been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
