Commencement time is quickly approaching and, once again, I am looking for volunteers to help us make this year’s Commencement memorable for our students.  We are heading back down to the BOS Center for two ceremonies this year at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.  so we are going to need a bit of additional help,  more so then we have needed in the last two years. We have an excited class of graduates, looking forward to celebrating with their family and friends.
