Polson Park was transformed into a sea of smiles, beautiful dresses and smart tuxedos as the Clarence Fulton graduation class of 2015 made sure they captured the excitement of their special day.
Not wanting to miss getting their photos taken with each of their classmates and friends before they take different paths towards the future they packed the park, Saturday, moving from one photo opportunity to the next.
Brittany Skrenek, who posed for photos with her grad date and fellow graduate Davron Polok, is looking forward to starting the Bachelor of Business program at Okanagan College in the fall but is sad to leave some aspects of high school life behind.
“I am going to miss my friends, seeing my teachers and coaches and playing sports,” said Skrenek, a volleyball, basketball and soccer player at Fulton.
“I will miss Mrs. (Sharon) Shaigec, she was my volleyball coach, gym teacher and mentor.”
Corey Lehoux and Ryan Vadnais are also ready to face their futures head-on, starting training in November for the Level 2 apprenticeship in carpentry.
Kayla Hillard, whose favorite subjects in high school were cafeteria and math, is taking a year off school to work at Wayside Press with plans to attend college after that.
“I had lots of favourite teachers but my favourite place to hang out and help was the library with the librarian Ms. (Erin) Hobkirk,” said Hillard.
