LHS grad 2025
Dignitaries congratulate Lamont High graduates BY JOHN MATHER The Lamont High School class of 2025, which graduated 49 students on June 14, 20 of them had made the journey from Kindergarten through grade school to high school graduation, while another three had started school in Bruderheim and stayed together as they graduated from Lamont High School. Trustee Colleen Holowaychuk chuckled as she stated the graduates theme “People change and things go
wrong but just remember life goes on,” struck a chord as the wireless microphone she used kept losing its battery strength. After replacing the batteries a few times she got into her speech to the grads. “Those words might be simple but they hold a lot of truth especially for young people entering a new chapter in their lives.” Holowaychuk said they had grown
up surrounded by familiar faces and situations but now things would start to change and some friends would disappear. “You are ready for change,” she said. “Some expected and some not, but you will be up to those challenges.” She reminded the students not to forget their high school years as they move farther away from them. She also spoke as a councillor for the Town of Lamont.
She extended her congratulations on behalf of Mayor Jody Foulds who had sent his regrets for not being able to attend. She also presented two cheques for $500 to the school’s co-valedictorians Camryn Fossum and Gabrielle Wendoff. Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch and Chipman Deputy Mayor Shana McIntyre also offered congratulations. Continued on Page 2
