The class of the 2021 Graduation Ceremony was held on May 23, 2021, at two o'clock at the Big Sandy High School gymnasium. The gym was full, and I heard so many say it was good to get back to the tradition of graduation. Last year only family could attend, and it was outside on the football field. It was a beautiful day, but because of that, the slide show could not be seen. This year the ceremony was like all others before. This graduation felt like a warm sweater, something warm, something...

He was put in charge of the horses for his unit due to his extensive work with them on the farm. He was an excellent rider--soaring over jumps with his arms crossed.
