Con Grad ulations

Editorial comment recognizes achievement of local graduating students

Here’s to the kids who have made so many in the community proud.

Here’s offering a pile of credit for a job well done in terms of putting grades one through 12 behind them.

While trying not to fall back on too many more clichés – what lies ahead is where the real challenges are going to be discovered.

But for now, that’s too much like work to think of. This weekend is all about young grads blowing off a little overdue steam.

Please, while the fun is going full tilt over these longed-for celebrations, try to keep in the back of your mind how important you are to so many people. Do your partying like you’ve got a bright future at stake... because you do!

There’s a lot of fun to be had, and the most fun of all is getting to remember it.

How about career planning? Post-secondary education? What could be more fun than that? To be at the top of your learning ability, with a sharp wit and equally sharp reflexes.

Once again, from all of us at the Castlegar News and West Kootenay Advertiser, our sincere best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful future. You’ve earned it!

We hope to see you and hear about you for many years to come.
