Onward, Class of 2025 Graduation ceremonies last weekend had the Valley abuzz with smiling faces, cheers and some tears, ushering in yet another cohort of young minds who’ll each make their own distinct impact wherever they may land. Bridges High School graduates walked across the stage at the Orchard Church to accept their diplomas Friday evening. Then, friends and family of all ages embraced and showered the graduates with flowers and mementos on the terrace in the golden glow of the summer evening following the commencement .

Earlier that day, the Roaring Fork senior class carried on the tradition of walking the halls of the middle and elementary schools in their caps and gowns, celebrated by the youngsters who will one day walk the same path. The following morning, hundreds of family members and friends met at Rams Field. Graduate Gus Richardson opened with the National Anthem on saxophone. Then, toward the middle of the ceremony, graduates took eight minutes to hand out flowers to their mentors and peers who helped get them through high school, while graduate Katherine Huttenhower serenaded the crowd with a rendition of “America” by Simon and Garfunkel on guitar.
Congratulations, Frogs and Rams!
