CLASS OF 2025

 BY WALLACE CALEB BATES This afternoon, I attended a Class of 2025 high school graduation, an event marked by songs from seniors, memories shared by speakers, and inspirational reflections on the years this class spent in high school.  It feels like yesterday that I graduated from high school.

MEGAN

BY WALLACE CALEB BATES There is just something about a summer day with good food and a good movie. We kicked things off with a bit of BBQ: saucy, messy, and downright perfect. Napkins were no match.

We laughed so hard it did not even matter. It was simple, sweet, and exactly the kind of memory that sticks.
