By Zachary N. Dunaiski

veryone meets many valuable milestones throughout their lives, but Efew are as important as graduation. Fond du Lac celebrated many excited graduates at the end of May, hosting the graduation for the head start, high school, and college. Robert Fulgham once famously said, “Everything I need to know… I learned in Kindergarten.” We all learn the basics of life in Kindergarten: share, don’t hit people, clean up, say sorry, wash hands, etc. These are just some of the many things that the graduates of this year’s Fond du Lac Head Start learned over the course of the school year. Graduating from high school is a completely different situation. The possibilities are endless and the excitement is palpable as these graduates are right on the doorstep of their future. Watching the graduates walk around at their graduation, you could almost feel the electricity in the air from all of the possibilities. It’s always fun to watch the joy and tears of happiness at a level that only occurs on the night of a high school graduation. For the graduates of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC), a vast majority of the students have completed their final days of school, and the path that they have chosen is nearing its completion. Years of hard work and already having gone through the graduation process makes college graduations much less about saying goodbye, and more about the beginning of a lifelong goal. The newspaper staff would like to congratulate all of the graduates and wish them well on their bright futures.
