And….they’re off!

Fairhaven’s latest new­bies to adult life have officially left the high school world.

Graduation is always a fun event. Add that beautiful sun and weather we had, and it’s even more fun. See page 12 for the story, a few pictures, and how you can watch the whole thing online.

And let me add my two cents. As you move onto college and other ventures, please choose your friends carefully, especially those of you who are going away to school and might be far from home. Here, you know who will have your back. Be sure to use your instincts when choosing your new friends. And, be a good friend, too.

Good luck out there, kids. Make Fairhaven proud!

Speaking of pride…

Fairhaven’s Got Pride celebration is this weekend. See page 4 for the events planned for Saturday and Sunday.

There will be food, vendors, entertainment for all ages, and more. 

The Millicent Library has some bad news, but hopefully, it will be a temporary thing. The Fairhaven Star, the local paper from 1879 to 1967, is going offline for a few months. See page 4 for details on why.

The Colonial Club found a new home. They’ll be hanging at the Whitfield-Manjiro House soon. See page 18 for details.

There’s more graduation related stuff, too: scholar­ships (see page 3); graduate names (page 20); top ten graduates (page 13); athletes signing day (page 17).

There’s other stuff in here, of course. So, check out each and every page. And while you’re doing that, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News. 

Until next week then, see ya,

Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
