It was standing room only Friday for the audience at Ombudsman’s midterm commencement, which was given a planes, trains and automobiles theme by Superintendent Rob Winter.
Twelve students earned high school diplomas from the Grand Island Public Schools, with 11 of them participating in the ceremony at the Ombudsman Center, 2300 N. Webb Road.
So many friends, relatives and classmates from the Ombudsman alternative education program attended the graduation that there were not enough chairs.
That was true even though center Director Linda Sanders said she had transported numerous chairs to the site in an attempt to have enough seating. But she definitely was pleased with the turnout.
Sanders said, by looking at all the young people’s supporters in the large audience, "I can see another reason they are here. These are 12 very special students."
