On the eve of their big day, the CCHS Senior Class kicked off graduation Thursday night at the Fallon Airport with a Lantern Festival, launching themselves into the future.

Sponsored by Gradnite and organized by parents who had worked this year to raise money for the traditional safe and sober graduation celebration, which will not be held due to the COVID-19 situation, students were given beautiful lanterns when they picked up their caps and gowns this week. Asked to write on the lanterns their "wishes, hopes, and dreams" students met at the airport as a class for the first time since March and launched their lanterns across the desert.

A driving graduation will be held tonight beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the high school, with a live stream broadcast which can be seen by going to bit.ly/cchsgrad2020  . The school district has a website specifically for the Class of 2020 with all the information for and about the graduates at https://sites.google.com/churchillcsd.com/learningfromadistance/graduation-2020?authuser=0.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
