Time to honor our grads

Anyone with a loved one who is graduating knows it’s about the culmination of years of hard work.

ere’s a way, as a community, that we can honor those students. You only have to know a student who is graduating this year to participate. In the past, grandparents, neighbors, family friends, neighborhood organizations, teachers and student peers send me information about graduates they’re proud of.

Here is what I need from you:

• e full name of the graduate.

• A headshot photo. ink senior picture or a sel e of the grad in

their cap and gown.

• e high school the student is graduating from. e school must be located in Denver (or the graduate must live in Denver if attending a school outside of the city). Students who are homeschooled or attending an online/virtual school are welcome to participate.

• eir after high school plans, which can include college, the military, entering the workforce, gap years, etc.

• Quotes (please have the graduate answer one or both of these questions in a full sentence):

1) In your opinion, what makes the class of 2023 special and why?

2) What did you learn during your high school experience that you will take with you in your future endeavors?
